Roadsters on MotorTrend TV

Post by Alvin »

Thanks to Spriso for the heads up on this roadster sighting!

There's a new television series on MotorTrend TV called "Autobiography". The latest episode is the story behind the shady Whittington brother's Porsche 935K3.

This is the cool (but weird) part...the opening 5seconds of the episode has me driving my roadster into the paddock at Laguna Seca. Same clip is repeated at 1:35. It is obviously from the 2018 event where Datsun was the featured marque. It gets better! A second later they show the Z-car corral and more roadsters are visible. At 16:03, following a 935 down the Corkscrew is Alex McDowell in the Hakosuka Skyline!
Some screen grabs:

Short video re-cap of the footage:


The weird part....none of the 'Seca footage from 2018 makes any sense being in this documentary. The 935K3 "seizure" by the DEA was in 2014 at a private track day at Laguna Seca, not a Rolex event. #continuityErrors
Anyways check it out!
