Air/Water: An Automotive Show Masterclass
Last year, I discovered a gem in the world of car shows. A unique event that stood out from the rest: the Air/Water show piggybacking after Luftgekühlt 9 on Mare Island California. For Round 2 of Air/Water, the promoters decided to move the event to Costa Mesa, California where it appears it will remain for

A Day at the Fanatec World Challenge in Sonoma
Nestled amidst the picturesque landscapes of Sonoma lies the iconic Sonoma Raceway, a hallowed ground where speed demons and motorsport aficionados converge from across the world.

Velocity International is like Cars and Coffee for the 1%
If you have never heard of Velocity International, you should. It’s the most mind-boggling congregation of the planet’s most expensive and rarest cars. But these aren’t your typical garage queens babied around velvet ropes parked up to be looked at. They are there to race and race hard. Described by the organizers as “A motorsports

Rennsport Reunion 7: Laguna Seca’s Cauldron of Porsches
Is it Porsch or is it Porsch-ah? Either way, Rennsport Reunion is the best place to find them. All of them. I was lucky enough to attend the 7th Rennsport Reunion hosted at Laguna Seca raceway, one of my personal favorite places on earth. Rennsport is a massive gathering of all things Porsche. The weekend

The MOTUL Course de Monterey at Laguna Seca
A wall of fog. That is what greeted me as I arrived at the Motul Course de Monterey at Laguna Seca Raceway. Being at the bottom of a dry lake bed, hence the name, the circuit is prone heavy cloud cover sticking around. As I left the parking area, I had no idea what I

Luftgekühlt 9 Air/Water: An Enthusiast’s Dream
Luftgekühlt is one of the most anticipated car events in the US. Being a German car fan, it was always on my radar. Luftgekühlt (German for Air Cooled) is a single-make car show featuring only “air-cooled” Porsches. Created by Patrick Long and Jeff Zwart, this year will be the 9th edition of the now cult-followed

Behind Enemy Lines: I Attended the Dutch Grand Prix
As a Formula One fan, attending a Grand Prix abroad race has always been a dream of mine. Despite being a huge Lewis Hamilton supporter, when the Dutch Grand Prix returned to Zandvoort in 2020, I knew I had to go at some point. I’ve always wanted to see Amsterdam and what better way than

Austin Cars and Coffee
I have been to plenty of cars and coffee events before. You get a coffee and head down to the local meet-up spot and ogle over cars for an hour or two, then head home and get on with your day. However, the saying “Everything’s bigger in Texas” isn’t just about the capitol building. Austin’s

Porsche Unseen at SXSW 2022
South by Southwest (SXSW) is one of the oddest happenings I have ever attended. There are events all over Austin, constantly. Concerts, film festivals, corporate trade shows, and even drone shows promoting the new Halo TV series. Pretty much anything you can think of is happening over the course of 2 insane weeks in Austin.

30th Anniversary Ferrari Challenge at COTA
Over the weekend, I attended the 30th anniversary of the Ferrari Challenge at Circuit of the Americas (COTA) in Austin, TX. Loads of high-performance Italian V8s tearing around the track with views from the Main Grandstands and the craziest part, it was all free! Once I found out about it, I couldn’t miss it. My

Attending the US Grand Prix: What You Should Know?
Walking into the Circuit of the Americas on race weekend and you can immediately feel the energy. The initial impression you get is unlike any event I’ve ever been to outside of Formula 1. It is a combination of theater and huge financial investment. You realize that this is a big deal to a lot
