Gunther Werks Laguna Seca Event
Monterey Car Week

August 17, 2025

  • The last day of Monterey Car Week always feels like a cool-down lap, and Gunther Werks’ track event at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca on August 17, 2025, delivered that exhale. We shared the circuit with Königsegg, which meant an eclectic paddock and a soundtrack that never settled. Owners were invited to bring their own cars; I left my 992 off the schedule and focused on the pictures. Laguna Seca rewards patience—the light swings fast across the hills, the wind shifts, the sand creeps. Between pit lane, hot pit, and paddock, I worked the day as it unfolded, aiming to keep the gallery tight to what it felt like to be there.

    I planned extra time and let the day breathe. The highlight was a hot-lap ride in the orange Turbo press car I’d driven the day before—Patrick Long on the wheel, me watching reference points and the track surface spool past. Back in the paddock, I worked owner cars as they cycled to grid and back: a 400R idling with heat haze lifting from the deck, and the first production Turbo staged before rolling out. I balanced those with pictures from pit wall—cars charging past under the starter’s stand—and quiet details between sessions: harnesses draped over buckets, torque wrenches clicking, tire markers on sidewalls. I also caught a few Königsegg passes and paddock moments to frame the shared-day energy without drifting off the Gunther Werks thread. The cadence was simple: track, paddock, pit, repeat—enough rhythm to keep the set coherent without losing the spontaneity of the day.

    Late afternoon settled the colors and thinned the crowd. The orange Turbo cooled under open sky, brake dust etched into the spokes, and the paddock took on that end-of-day calm. I wrapped with a final picture of my 992.1 Turbo S, Soul to Squeeze, in the paddock—quiet, unhurried, exactly the tone I wanted after a week of constant motion. I didn’t need to put my 992 on track to feel connected; the ride-along, the owner sessions, and the shared space with Königsegg told the story cleanly. As the hills went soft and the pits emptied, Monterey Car Week finally exhaled. The gallery does the same: focused pictures, honest pace, no filler.
