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

10:34 The Mclaren and Supra tandem drifting that corner is my favorite part of the race tbh

[jajahmal]

I feel no matter what car Randy is in, he’s definitely going to win!!!

This brings some nostalgic BestMotoring vibes

I'm just impressed that a stick shift manual Mustang placed as high as it did.

McLaren: "Here, take the 600LT instead! If something happens, it's only $300k!" LOL

Can't believe the GT350 and only non turbo car made 3rd place, amazing driving Patryk!!! This just made my Sunday...

Man that Shelby was pretty impressive! Really fun video!

[warwolf]

Its weird hearing it called Weather tech, I grew up knowing it as Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca

[mikionorton]

Props to the gt350 for putting on a show considering it's a manual. 👏🏾

[keithjackson]

Thank you. This was very entertaining to watch. Thank you for taking the risk to film something different. I know that if one of these machines gets damaged you guys would have big problems. Strong Work! Also have big respect for Randy Pobest. I hope I spelled that right.

[AbeNXC]

Randy is the only guy I know who’ll give you and your car a compliment as you overtake him. Stand up guy

[DJONYX]

McLaren: LOOK AT THIS HYPERCAR WE MADE!
*Looks at the driver*
maybe drive this one
🤣

[sidefx]

Seriously lol, who else gets the feeling Randy is toying with everyone?

[marcust]

Mustang is extremely impressive holding its own like that. The only manual transmission car on the grid, not much more expensive than the Supra if at all, just goes to show the potential that thing has!
