Tomorrow, monday September 22, marks the beginning of Motor Trend Magazine's Best Driver's Car Week.
Motor Trend has always held competitions. One of the most famous, and prestigious awards a car can win, is Motor Trends Car of the Year. If you watch tv, you've probably heard of that award before. Because once a car wins that award, the company makes sure to plaster it on every advertisement, and commercial it can.

Well about four years ago, Motor trend introduced a new competition, Motor Trends Best Driver's Car. The competition pits all the best performance cars released that year against one another. Motor Trend has all of its editors drive the cars through a number of test. The test include, driving the cars on real world roads, and race tracks. Then the cars are handed over to race car driver, Randy Pobst. Randy does a hot lap in each car, at one of America's most famous race tracks, Mazda Leguna Seca. After Randy sets the fastest lap he can, the editors converge at the end of the week for final deliberations. The editors all compare notes, praises, and complaints about each car, until they reach a verdict.
Also at the end of the week Motor trend realeases a Youtube Video called "World's Greatest Drag Race", to celebrate the end of the competition. They line all the cars up and race them, I mean who can say no to a drag race?
Not to take anything away from this great event but I use to live in California near the Mazda Leguna Seca race track. I even went to a few races there as a child. It's a Great Track!
