Well, here’s something you don’t see everyday! The Motoring Club (Marina Del Rey) hosted the Aston Martin Red Bull Racing Team today… and they built an F! race car during the club’s Mexican Grand Prix viewing party.
It was intriguing to see the car take shape, and even how the car fit into its shipping container was kind of interesting. Paired with a great motorsports event, tacos, and a nice crowd and it was a pretty amazing event.
I stopped by the Murphy Museum today to finish installing my artwork. Though they’re still putting the finishing touches on their new facility, it is now open to the public. The new location is better than ever… worth a look, even before the official “grand opening”!

This entry is a bit late, but I recently had the opportunity to attend the premier of the 2020 C8 Roadster at The Motoring Club (Marina Del Rey, CA). In person, the car was quite impressive — the new mid-engine layout give the car a very modern, athletic stance while remaining easily recognizable as a Corvette. Inside, the driver-oriented cabin’s design was modern, and functional. Materials seemed quite nice, and the forward view was great, thanks to the forward positioning of the cabin.
The following day the roadster appeared at Supercar Sunday in Woodland Hills. In natural light it looked even better. Last weekend, the coupe appeared at ArtCenter’s Car classic sporting an attractive bronze paint that gave the car a more understated appearance.
I recently created a graphic render of the roadster… check out the video here.
2019 ArtCenter Car Classic… as always, an amazing concours with some of the rarest, and most beautiful cars on earth! It was incredible to see the famous Lancia Stratos Zero in the flesh (so unbelievably low, and the paint glistened in the natural light). Other favorites: the elegantly simple Pontiac Vivant, and the impossibly beautiful Talbot Lago. Counting the days until the 2020 show!
