Rearden Racing’s foray into the 14th edition of the NASA 25 Hours of Thunderhill (2016) started with Vesko Kozarov at the wheel, taking the green flag after qualifying the car at fourth position in the E0 class, and 20th overall from a massive field of 65 pro-level starters.

Vesko opened with a triple stint spanning the first three hours of the race. His stint, however, did no go untroubled, as he had contact in the opening hour, forcing car #33 to make an unscheduled pit stop. Team owner and driver Lara Tallman took the wheel next, but the initial bad luck didn’t stop there as Lara also made a few unscheduled stops, dropping team Rearden even further down the running order. Afterwards, Lara was able to claw back some time with her consistent driving. 

With tickets and hotel booked to a seminar in Fort Lauderdale, I also took the opportunity to contact Porsche Centre Trinidad and Porsche Latin America to see if I could review a few of their cars while out on this trip. I drafted my itinerary for the seven-day trip and was absolutely over the moon when they said that I could have both the Porsche Panamera 4 E-Hybrid and the Porsche Boxster GTS (feature here) for a few days each to drive and evaluate! 

The merry month of May brought huge wins last Saturday when two ecstatic ‘Massy League of Champions’ participants won three all expense paid trips to the June 1, 2019 UEFA Champions League Finals in Madrid, Spain, courtesy Nissan. The envy of their mates, these football fanatics will get to see Premier League sides Liverpool and Tottenham face off, who both secured stunning comeback victories in the semifinals. The highly coveted winning prize packages include a dream-come-true, all-expenses paid round trip with airfare, hotel, meals, ground transfers, and matchday tickets. One customer who purchased a Nissan vehicle had the winning entry earning him two tickets. The other lucky participant entered by posting a Facebook or Instagram video of his football skills next to a Nissan and won one ticket to Europe’s legendary elite football club competition, now in its 64th year.

Porsche continues to push the envelope with its latest iteration of what was once envisioned as a four-door 911 that has now evolved into one of the world’s best luxury sport saloons. An invitation-only event was held at Lifestyle Motors on the 25th of January 2017 as part of a 3-day showing, signaling the beginning of the Panamera’s second chapter in Trinidad & Tobago.

Although for many of us it seems like just yesterday, fifteen years ago, during the July–August vacation months of 2001, one of the most anticipated movies of that year made its debut. The Fast and the Furious brought sellout crowds to Globe, Presidente, and Palladium and just about every other cinema in the country, as fans rushed to see it over and over again.
