August 16: Enough is enough

It is all cozy with the partying and Champagne, but now we both want to see some real racing. Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca is one of the world's most famous racetracks. It is exciting, mythical and challenging. The spectators are really close to the action. One experience the best of classic racing anywhere. Everything from small Mini Coopers to classic Formula 1 cars compete on the track. The racing is close, exciting and the volume intense. The old cars are allowed to drive on straight pipes without silencers. Under the simmering heat with classic V8 Mustangs and AC Cobras, the share noice of it all is so loud that you literally feel the sound shaking your entrails. Outside the racing area, at the parking lot, it is even better. Here you will find unique Ferraris and rare sports cars casually parked among Chevy´s, Subaru´s and BMW´s. It's incredibly hot, we get silly sunburnt even with our clothes and caps on. Eventually it becomes so hot that we simply have travel back to the hotel. I cannot belive it: I've had enough of cars. Time to go to San Francisco.
