The best part of my weekend at Laguna was meeting Tom Hiett, Jon Payne, and Matt Hayashibara. We had a chance to catch-up on the latest news and take in all the great vintage racing action on Sunday. Hopefully I can meet more of you at the FIA GT races in October.
These shots are all from the paddock, and they feature a few Porsche models that are available in kit form.
