The country's longest-running car show is back. The 22nd edition of the Trans Sport Show is opening its doors on May 30 and will run until June 2, 2013 at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay City.
This year's show takes on a new “Driving Generations” theme as it draws together classic, exotic, tuner, and custom car enthusiasts. It's the perfect avenue for people to share their love for cars, no matter what age or genre they're from. But more importantly, it allowed fathers to share their passion with their children.
Tradeshow International President Sophie de los Santos couldn't have explained it better. “We have met a lot of fathers and sons, whole families in fact, through the years, who had a steady diet of the Trans Sport Show. It was the inspiration for the show’s new slogan. When we started seeing dads with their L-type Lancers, passionately staring at restored examples with their sons who now drive the latest generation cars, we knew that was what really represented the show.”

It’s been only two months since we got word that Filipino-Swiss driver Marlon Stockinger was recruited by the newly-formed Lotus F1 Junior team. That means he'll race under the Lotus F1 team in the 2013 World Series by Renault and be trained to become a future Formula 1 driver. This keeps our hopes up that, one day, we'll see the Philippine flag raised on the Formula 1 grid. Thankfully, we don't have to wait months or years to see Marlon in a Formula 1 car. We don't even have to go very far, because from May 4 to 5, 2013, the Lotus F1 Team will bring Formula 1 to Manila.
The aptly named the Manila Speed Show will bring Formula 1 action to our streets, more specifically on the streets at the Quirino Grandstand and SM Mall of Asia (MOA). Although we don't have the complete and final details yet, here's everything you need to know to the ultimate Formula 1 experience in Manila.
