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

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
For 2019 we’re changing things up. Why watch one hot lap when you can see two at once!?! Spoiler alert: The 2019 McLaren Senna is a nearly $1 million, nearly 800hp hypercar that will crush almost anything on any racetrack anywhere in the world. That said, the 2019 Aston Martin DBS Superleggera makes 715 hp and is pretty dang sporty for a big GT. Yeah, we know we’re not fooling anyone—the Senna is going to win. The question then becomes, win by how much? Watch and find out! #BestDriversCar #AstonMartin #McLaren
For 2019 we’re changing things up. Why watch one hot lap when you can see two at once!? Jaguar decided to go a little nuts and build a 600hp, track-focused, crazy expensive, sedan with the single purpose of setting great lap times. In fact, Randy Pobst set the production sedan lap record around Laguna Seca in a preproduction Project 8. This time out, Pobst’s got a healthier, full-production 2019 spec car and he should go quicker. Bad news for Jaguar, AMG built an even more powerful (and expensive) four-door sports car, the 2019 GT 63 S. Which super sedan will turn the quickest lap? Watch and find out! #BestDriversCar #Jaguar #MercedesAMG
For 2019 we’re changing things up. Why watch one hot lap when you can see two at once!?! This race is crazy meets crazy; there’s just no other way to put it. The 2019 Redeye driving experience most closely resembles two soft leather recliners perched on a waterbed. That is until you mash the throttle, and then you’re acutely aware that the supercharged 6.2L V-8 is three ponies short of 800 hp! Sure, it’s old school, but what a good school! The 2019 Urus is the quickest SUV the world has ever seen. Its Porsche Motorsport–tuned engine works with a brilliant AWD system that allows the Urus to move in ways no SUV ever has. Will it be enough to defeat a Dodge Challenger in battle? Watch and find out! #BestDriversCar #Lamborghini #Dodge
