Sinopsis

Manila Racers: A Pictorial Archive, 1978-1983 presents a visual record of a brief and largely undocumented car culture that emerged in Metro Manila during the late 1970s and early 1980s.

Across backstreets, industrial zones, and improvised circuits, young drivers and seasoned mechanics built machines from whatever they could find-salvaged engines, discarded chassis, mismatched parts. With limited tools, little formal training, and no expectation of permanence, they learned through repetition, failure, and necessity. What mattered was movement. What mattered was speed.

The result was a generation of hand-built vehicles and self-taught drivers, supported by a small network of photographers, illustrators, and historians who attempted to document it as it happened.

This book assembles those fragments into a single volume.

No official record of this scene exists. Manila Racers is a work of fiction, constructed as a historical archive of a culture that could have emerged from the conditions, people, and ingenuity of the time.
