The Philipstown WireCar Grand Prix is a documentary and the world’s gateway into the heart of Philipstown, celebrating the community’s spirit without shying away from its struggles. We spoke to the film’s director Paul Ward as well as director of the Philipstown WireCar Foundation Kay Fourie:

The Philipstown WireCar Grand Prix documentary follows a group of young racers who, armed with scrap wire, bottle caps, and boundless imagination, build intricate draadkars (wire cars) to compete in the town’s annual race that takes place every September. It’s a story told from the inside out, a testament to how creativity and hope can flourish in the most challenging of circumstances.

The foundation has launched the WGP Mobile Game on the iOS App Store and Google Play. This game immerses players in a digital twin of Philipstown, allowing them to experience the thrill of racing a wire car through meticulously recreated streets and landmarks.
