First Ever—Best Driver’s Car Grand Prix

Welcome to the inaugural Best Driver’s Car Grand Prix! For the first time ever, as part of the Best Driver’s Car competition, an international cast of MotorTrend talent from five different countries descend upon WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca to have themselves a little race. The rules are simple—the first car across the finish line after three laps wins! However, before a single wheel gets turned in anger, the competitors must compete in a little drift-off to determine who drives what. The bad news for five of the six competitors? One of the drifters is three-time Formula Drift champ Chris Forsberg! But the bad news for Forsberg and most of the others is that one of the racers is Randy Pobst, the man who has set more lap records at Laguna Seca than he can remember! You’re gonna love this international high-octane, wheel-to-wheel race. Check it out! #BestDriversCar #BestDriversCarGrandPrix #LagunaSeca

Bentley Continental GT V8 vs. BMW 850i xDrive—2019 BDC Hot Lap Matchup

For 2019 we’re changing things up. Why watch one hot lap when you can see two at once!?! Nothing says, “Look at my wallet!” in quite the same way as a big, fat luxury coupe. In many ways and to many people, they are the ultimate expression of success and prestige. While that’s all fine and good, we’re only interested in one thing: which big, old GT can Randy Pobst rock around Laguna Seca quicker? The 550hp 2020 Bentley? Or the 526hp 2019 8 Series? You might not think a BMW matches up to a Bentley and if we’re just going by price, it sure doesn’t. However, aside from similar power levels, each coupe features all-wheel drive and all-wheel steering. This one might be closer than you think. Or not. Watch and find out! #BestDriversCar #BMW #Bentley
