The meaneast of the day was this Corvette. It looked like some stealth fighter!
The color was just perfect for it.
Sports cars like Porsche, Ferrari and Lamborchini are quite common in Manila, but McLaren is not yet. In fact this was first McLaren what I have seen in Philippines during last few years. Model is 12C Spider.
Toyota GT86 is popular car model for tuning in Philippines. There was also several cars in this event. I talked with the owner of this car and engine has got the turbo charger. Stock version has 200hp, but with turbo it has now 400hp using ethanol and normal gasoline 360hp. Owner uses the car every day. Color looks also awesome.

New Mustang is also common in Manila.
This Lexus RC350 looks also great.
Tuned Mini Countryman S.

There was also lots of pick ups in the event. Bigger wheels, higher suspension and better ground clearance.
No problems in the ground clearance.
Doors open and let's start the party!

That kind of Manila Auto Salon this time. Something new on this year were the LB Works Bodykits. Other wise the event was quite similar like last year.

Lotus F1 Team in Manila street circuit

Manila, Philippines. Yesterday I had a nice surprise here in Fort Bonifacio. I had a plan to go riding my motorcycle and took some photos. I took DSLR to bag and then elevator to downstairs. I rode bike out of garage and I saw lots of people in the first junction. I went to check what´s ongoing and I heard here is Lotus F1 team driving on the streets! My motorcycling trip was over.

Event:  Lotus F1 Team on street circuit
Driver: Marlon Stöckinger
Place:   Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City, Metro-Manila, Philippines
Date:    27.6.2015

Soon it was possible to hear the F1 sound and also car itself came to street.
Driver was Swiss-Philippino Marlon Stöckinger, who belongs to Lotus F1 Junior Team.
Marlon drove only two three laps and there was break. During the break there came motorcycles to the street circuit.
Next was time for the sport cars. There was lot of cars like Porsche, Ferrari and Lamborchini. Here Lamborchini Diablo on the front and Ferrari 458 Italia behind.
Then it was time for the F1 again.
Pedal to the metal...
...and good burnouts...
...and forward.
Ones Marlon was driving to towards the place when I was. I showed to stop and do some burnouts and he did. Unfortunatelly I was not ready with the camera to film the whole thing, but something anyway. The F1 sounds in live are something orgastic!
   
Very good event. There was also last year same event, but I didn´t know about it, so I missed it. It was very close also this time, but luckily I saw it now. More this kind of events. 

Regards,
Mika
