In this episode, Chris catches up with Courage from Monterey to talk about what Car Week is really like when the entire area fills up with hypercars, supercars, rare classics, auctions, car meets and track events.
We’re talking Koenigsegg, Pagani, Ferrari, McLaren, Aston Martin, Porsche and plenty more — including the kind of cars you normally only see online or in video games.
Courage also shares what it’s like staying just a few miles from WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca, hearing cars run the track, and seeing the legendary Corkscrew in action. The conversation gets into the Corkscrew Hillclimb, track temperatures, racing oil, tuned cars, exotic car fuel, and what it actually takes to enjoy a week surrounded by serious automotive machinery.
Plus, Chris and Courage talk about the other side of Monterey Car Week — the crowds, traffic, police presence, local residents, trailers, auctions, family road trips, and why you absolutely do not need a million-dollar car to have a great time.
If you’re into Monterey Car Week, Laguna Seca, hypercars, exotic cars, car auctions, car culture, road trips or performance cars, this episode is for you.
