Old Vs New Bench Racing, Courtesy of Monterey Historics and Motor Trend's Laguna Lap Database
|
Not unlike the author of Rome Sweet Rome, I’ve often wondered if one could show up to a vintage TransAm race with a showroom stock 2015 Mustang and win the whole thing. Aside from actually doing an Old Vs New comparison–the logistics of which well exceed our meager resources–it’s nearly impossible to find old race lap-time data…

Car Bros covers Monterey Car Week
|
Most of the events surrounding Monterey Car Week are geared towards the jet set and elite machinery. It’s tough for the Car Bros team to relate thus making it difficult to get the ball rolling on this video, despite owning an Enzo of their own. After a brief moment to gather their thoughts and take…

|
Welcome to part two of my Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion coverage that’s only a year late. If you missed the first part where I explain why I’m just now posting some of the 2,300 photos I took during last year’s vintage racing gathering at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, I suggest starting there. The short story…

Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion – Nothin' But Corkscrew
|
Onward with our continued “coverage” (in the form of massive picture dumps) of the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion. Upon receipt of my media band and a photographer’s vest, you can be damn sure the first locked gate I bypassed was the Corkscrew’s. What follows are some highlights from Saturday’s Shelby GT350-specific (this year’s featured marque),…

Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion: Wandering the Paddock
|
Unrestricted paddock access is arguably the best part of your admission to the Rolex Monterey Motorsport Reunion (“Monterey Historics” from here on out). We’re talking several acres of cars so incredible, seeing one on a random Tuesday afternoon, you’d tell your friends about it for a week. Walking the rows with one’s wife and kids lends…

Monterey Car Week Photo Dump: Vintage Racing Is Best Racing
|
The Monterey Motorsport Reunion, colloquially known as “The Historics”, was celebrating Ford’s glorious GT350 this year. Not the new one, though there were a bunch of those floating around because, you know, cross promotion and corporate synergy and all that jazz. Anyway, the OG GT350 has always been my favorite mustang, because it was the…

Monterey Car Week Photo Dump: LeMons and P-Cars
|
Starting the day with a Relient Robin is hardly a bad way to start the day. I’ve seen only a handful of these in person, and I’m always geeked to see one. While Monterey Car Week is always about super cars and vintage racing and concours d’elegance, I always love showing up and seeing the…

I can report to you that Day 1 of my Monterey jaunt was a smashing success. I got to drive a V12 Lamborghini, saw three-time F1 champion Sir Jackie Stewart, and spotted hundreds of rare and lust-worthy automobiles. It was a perfect day. Make the jump to see why Monterey Car Week is every car…

Hooniverse Motorsport News For August 22nd, 2016
|
This weekend was another mostly racing-lacking weekend, but we’ll make the best of it and tell you all about the stuff that happened anyhow. Some NASCAR, some IndyCar, a bit of WRC and MotoGP. Toss in a DTM race, SuperFormula, and VLN, and it’s enough to chat about for a bit. I was at the…
