Experience the Thrill: From the Velocity Invitational to Your Next Adventure
The 5th annual Velocity Invitational at Sonoma Raceway was a celebration of speed, style, and automotive history. Bringing together an all-star lineup of iconic cars and drivers, this event wasn’t just another car show—it was a full-throttle experience.
Star Drivers Stealing the Show
Travis Pastrana was a true crowd favorite. Behind the wheel of the insane Subaru Huckster, a wild rally machine inspired by a 1983 Subaru GL, he took us on a jaw-dropping ride. In classic Gymkhana style, Pastrana’s fearless drifts and high-speed stunts had the crowd on their feet. His dynamic energy and undeniable love for racing were on full display, showing why he’s still one of the most exciting drivers out there.
Meanwhile, Jenson Button, 2009 Formula 1 World Champion, brought his racing expertise to the event with an aura of elegance and precision. Button piloted his 1952 Jaguar C-Type to victory, commanding the track with the same finesse that made him a legend. He also got behind the wheel of the Ferrari 250 Testarossa, a machine as iconic as his name. Watching Button seamlessly transition between these historic cars reminded us all why he’s considered racing royalty.
The Fun Beyond the Track
But Velocity wasn’t just about the cars—it was about the camaraderie and shared passion. From meeting up with old friends to supporting clients as they showcased their prized possessions, the event had an electric atmosphere. Each lap, each conversation, felt like a celebration of motorsport’s past, present, and future.
