Fantastic Fuji
“I spent more time and money playing Pole Position than my parents did raising me, so I want to take a few laps of the real life Fuji International Speedway in Japan.”
The current home of endurance racing, Super GT and Super Formula racing in Japan would make for an amazing adventure.

Classic Chevrolet
“To the original Yenko Chevrolet in Cannonsburg PA, where my dad (1934-2022) assisted Don Yenko in making and testing his iconic Chevelles and Camaros in the late 1960s.”
This would be a pretty rewarding pilgrimage to make, let us know if you ever manage to do it!

Stunning Suzuka
“Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka. And if the rumors of next year’s race being moved forward to spring (near hanami season) are true, I’ll almost certainly finally make it a reality.”
Suzuka is another iconic Japanese racing circuit, and currently hosts rounds of Formula 1, the Endurance World Championship and GT World Challenge Asia.

Marvelous Monaco
“Monaco GP then cruising Europe for a couple weeks and end it with 24hrs Lemans.”
If you’ve not dreamed of sipping Champagne on a balcony overlooking the Monaco Grand Prix, do you really even like cars?

Superb Spa
“My wife lived in Belgium getting her degree and being an au pair years ago so we are doing a trip out there and I will definitely see Spa and the Nurburgring, the autobahn and whatever else I can fit in between castles and whatnot. We are going to rent a car and do some countryside driving when the kid is just a notch or two older.”
Oh to see something with an engine rip it up Eau Rouge at Spa, what a dream.

Brilliant Baja
“I wanna see Baja 1000, then ship my ride from the tip of Baja to La Paz and go as far south as I can, do some mountain climbing. Family tradition says I have to ride UP Lombard Street in SF on a motorcycle. Gonna set a land speed record at the salt flats in a few years, it’s in the bag I just need to make a little more money first to make it happen.”
That sounds like a few absolute dream trips. Let me know if you need a blogger to document your travels.

Magical Museums
“The National Motor Museum at Beaulieu. It’s been on my automotive bucket list for 25 years.”
The only person dreaming of a trip to Hampshire has their eyes set on this collection of almost 300 historic cars.
