An early-morning drive down to WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca for Rennsport Reunion 7 - the largest Porsche-organized fan event in the world. Heritage prototypes from Germany, an impossibly packed paddock, Carrera Cup and PCA Club racing, and eighty thousand fans across four days.

What used to be The Academy of Art University Automobile Museum is no more. 104 pre and post-war automobiles in an exhibition condition got sold off at Saturday auction on February 15th, 2025 for $14.5 million in total. I got a chance to see them gathered in one somewhat cramped place for the last time, and snap pictures representing a great palette of an automotive history. Cars from the collection were used by art students, and it's easy to see why - I found it very inspirational.

Mid-size family-like British Car community meet celebrating the centenary of MG. Plenty of MGs, Mini and Jaguars of 50-th to 70-th, not a single Porsche in sight. The most photogenic parking lot car meet I've been to. Rows of lovely cars I have never seen before.

Lovely Saturday on the state park grounds of Laguna Seca, watching Italian masterpieces zip by, accompanied by the mighty roar of V6, V10, and V12 engines. It was my first encounter with the beautiful and powerful FXX and FXX-K Evo cars, the out-of-this-world 499P, and the F2002 F1 car. Plus a nice display of the fresh 296GTB model in vibrant colors.
