The longest-running carshow and auto lifestyle event, Bumper to Bumper, is happening on December 5 and 6 at the SM Mall of Asia Concert Grounds. B2B is now on its 11th year, and will feature the biggest production setup in any car show in Asia.
“Filipinos love car shows because we can relate to the cars we see. It is always a delight for us to see so many nice cars in one place. You can always see the excitement in people’s eyes when they are in a car show and you also know deep inside that they feel inspired—that one day, they will also have these upgrades or these kind of rides in their garage,” said Jonathan Chio, CEO of Ladder Events Production.
Bumper to Bumper (B2B) has been bringing the car show not only to Manila but to 10 key cities, including Baguio, Batangas, Cebu, Davao, General Santos, Iloilo, Laguna, La Union, Pampanga, and Pangasinan since 2005. It has since been the only local car show known that has done such feat, in its pursuit to bring the best of the best automotive mods across the Philippines.
A theme park of sorts, for car enthusiasts, Chio mentioned of B2B Carshow, as they have a wide array of vehicles on display and full blown entertainment and unique activities.
From previous years, the car show attracts an average of 70,000 car enthusiasts and spectators. This year’s activities will be a bigger event as it now includes a two-division (Pro and Street category) car show competition, off-road vehicle display competition, engine roar competition, drive-in movie, dance showdown, concert, and Sneaker Fever Manila for those who love kicks.
“There are so many things B2B has done to our market. A lot of shops that does not have big budgets for bigger shows were known to have started in our car shows. We have given work opportunities to our car show models. Our event has served as a playground for aspiring photographers and bloggers. But more importantly, a lot of long lasting-friendships were born in our events,” says Chio.
There are more exciting events to look forward to as we welcome 2016. These include the B2B Car Show Sinulog in January; “Hot Import Nights V Manila” to be held at Metro Tent, Metrowalk on April 23 and 24; “Hot Import Nights Davao” to be held at The Peak in Davao City; and the first-ever Race Wars Unlimited Philippines.
