| If you happened to drive by Filinvest Corporate City last November
13 or 14 and heard what you think were Formula car engines ripping through
the hot afternoon air, don't think that you were hallucinating. For
that weekend, the streets of the Corporate City were turned into a temporary
racetrack, for a wide variety of competing vehicles-from motorbikes to
Japanese sedans to single-seat formula cars. It's not quite Sepang
or Goodwood (as we imagine), but the racing did add up to a weekend of
entertainment for petrolheads.
Even when the cars were standing still, the Festival was a feast for the eyes. Mazda MX-5 Miatas lining a whole street! Vintage Volkswagens (but no New Beetles or Golfs in sight.) In the pit lane, race-prepared Honda Civic SiRs and Type Rs rubbed shoulders with Formula Toyotas. The weekend had the three categories of car racing as the main events: Corolla Cup, Supercar and Formula Toyota. Spicing things up further were the scheduled motorcycle race and exhibition races by the Volkswagen and Miata car clubs. We spent Sunday with the Soundbase team which fielded cars in the Corolla cup and Supercar categories.
