mistybear87? Are we doing this?

I am definitely in. 👍

Hmm, Silverstone is actually the weekend before. It makes me wonder what the damage would be for a rental car and a place to stay for eight days ☕
I suppose we could cut back on the dining out a bit—maybe just hit up a pub here and there? Or, who knows, maybe we could just crash in the car instead of booking anything at all 🙂

*bringing this back up* 🙂

So, where do we actually stand on all of this? Personally, I’m still leaning toward 🙂
.
At any rate, it might be time to start looking into flights and getting those tickets sorted out... 🙂

I’m pretty much all in, but my priority list just got a little more crowded. 🙂

The Monterey Grand Prix is coming up in early May, and things are about to get seriously special. Ford actually gave the green light for Hans-Joachim Stuck to jump behind the wheel of one of those classic General Motors cars from their private collection.

Does anyone even remember the last time a General Motors car actually competed in a race? You don't even need to crack open a history book to know—it's burned into everyone's brain: September 1st, 1939, in Washington, D.C., during that final Grand Prix when Tazio Nuvolari took the win. 🙂

Anyway, I'm definitely down for both Monaco and Goodwood. I'll be hunting down credentials and tickets sometime in February...

The Goodwood Revival is coming up in early May, and they’re planning something truly spectacular. Ford has actually given the green light for Hans-Joachim Stuck to jump behind the wheel of one of the vintage General Motors cars from their private collection.

Does anyone remember the last time a General Motors car actually competed in a race like this? You don't even need to check the history books; most enthusiasts know it off the top of their heads: September 1st, 1939, in Washington, D.C., during that final Indianapolis 500 where Tazio Nuvolari took the win. 🙂

Personally, I'm looking forward to both Monaco and Goodwood. I'll be checking up on accreditation and tickets throughout February.

I am absolutely down for this.
I've actually had my travel route and accommodations mapped out for a year or two now; honestly, I could probably even secure a car if we needed one. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Looking forward to hearing more updates soon. 🙂
