I'd Like To Thank The Producers Of The Film...

I've always wanted to say that and have it be for real. Now I can. Steffan Schulz's movie, Rebirth Of A Legend, The Story of La Carrera Panamericana, staring Lucky (My car) and yours truly, Gary Faules, won 1st Runner Up for Best Sports Documentary at the 2010 Official Action on Film 2010 Awards in Los Angeles.













Congratulations to my producor, Steffan Shultz, for an outstanding production!!! And a special thank you to the entire crew of Team California's Best Racing for the an outstanding job, your dedication and perseverance. After all, it wasn't easy trying to keep up with me while I was doing 150 miles per hour through the middle of Mexico all the way from Guatemala back to the United States, let alone get it on film. Also to my navigator Jon Emerson for all he has done to help make this all a reality. Last of all to my wonderful son Will Faules who I could not have done without. I love you.





















Besides all the hustle and bustle and red tape Steffan had to deal with there were many distractions that he had to deal with. Take this one for example as Steffan is hard at work trying to shoot his production. (And this was after he had only been in Mexico for 30 minutes.)

La Carrera Panamericana Goes Across The Pond

Thanks to Johnny Tipler we can enjoy some great photos of this years awesome turn out of LCP cars at the Goodwood Festival of Speed 2010 in the UK. The Festival also marks the 60th anniversary of the Carrera Panamericana road race and 50 years since the RAC Rally took to the forests of Britain for the first time. All the cars were simply beautiful examples but Johnny says on his blog that the standout car was the Porsche 550 Coupe built for the 1953 Le Mans and then run in La Carrera Panamericana – so it’s in my book.

One of the cars was a Jaguar C-Type, the only one of its kind to have competed at the fearsome Carrera Panamericana road race in Mexico. Chassis XKC 029, driven by Fiskens’ Will Stone at last weekend’s event, contested the race in 1953 and ’54 and appeared at Goodwood resplendent in its striking newly restored ‘Veracruz’ livery last seen in 1954.

I have also included a short video of my good friend Andy Prill who raced with me in 2007 doing an interview at the festival as well.
