Summary: On this episode of the Autoweek Podcast, host Rory Carroll is joined by Mike Pryson, Jake Lingeman and Wesley Wren to dissect the Roar Before the 24 Hours of Daytona. Calling in, because he was actually there, is Steven Cole Smith with a report on what teams look strong, the hype surrounding Fernando Alonso and what you can expect from the upcoming IMSA race. From there, Graham Kozak hops on a microphone to talk about the Mecum Kissimmee auction with the team. The group has a conversation with Mecum’s Dave Magers to get a feel for the current state of the classic car market, the auction world and more. Magers mentions some noteworthy cars slated to sell in the final weekend of the auction and talks about other Mecum auctions aside from the big Florida sale. After that, Graham, Rory and Wesley dive into the first of the Autoweek and eBay Motors garage videos -- “the brake job.” The team talks about how the video shoot went behind the scenes, what Wesley’s first time behind a camera was like and what you can expect from upcoming videos. Wrapping the show, Robin Warner joins the group to talk about the Lamborghini Huracan GT3 Evo he recently drove. The group spins that to the Lamborghini Urus currently nestled in the Autoweek fleet.
