Tormenting Tarmac Episode 178: Live from AZ Car Week Part 1

Hi everyone and welcome back to TT. This week, Jorge chats with Ford Mustang marketing executive Ryan Shaughnessy, Head of Global Communications at RM Sotheby's Ethan Gibson, and the Vice President of Licensing and Media Relations at Shelby American, Tracey Smith.In the first interview with Ryan, we breakdown the vibes happening in Detroit as they get ready for the F1 season launch as Ford prepares to be Red Bull's primary sponsor, we also discuss the brand new Ford Mustang Dark Horse SC and what it meant to see the Mustang GTD break the 7 minute barrier at the Nurburgring.In our second interview, Jorge talks with Ethan at the RM Sotheby's Scottsdale auction about the current trends in the collector car market, whether anyone would have the moxie to manual swap an Enzo, and how when another auction house does well, it is always good for business.In the final interview, Tracey sits down with Jorge at the Shelby booth immediately following the debut of the Shelby Mustang GT350 T/A. We discuss their excitement about returning to Trans Am racing, why it's so important to honor Carroll Shelby, Tracey's love for vans and the most obscure place they have ever seen a Shelby product.I would like to thank all of my guests for taking time out of their very busy schedules during the auctions to chat with me. Additionally a special thanks to Scott Black for his help in setting up the interviews with Ryan and Tracey.Enthusiasts never die!
