As many of you know, I lived in Carmel from 2000 to 2016. Here is a list of my favorite restaurants &
wine tasting rooms in the area in case it might be useful to some of you visiting during Rennsport VI.
****
My favorite French restaurants in Carmel:
***
Other restaurants in Carmel Valley & Carmel Valley Village that I recommend:
Baja Cantina (Mexican) on 7166 Carmel Valley Road (not far from Carmel-by-the-Sea): http://www.carmelcantina.com
The weekly gathering of sport cars & hot rods is on Thursdays!
The Baja Cantina owner, auto collector Pat Phinny, also is the proprietor of 'Turn 12'
restaurant (American) in downtown Monterey - thus named because Laguna Seca
has 11 turns...! http://www.turn12barandgrill.com
*********
Carmel Valley Village (20/30 minute drive from Carmel). Can also be accessed via
Laureles Grade from Route 68 in vicinity of Laguna Seca):
Corkscrew on 55 West Carmel Valley Road / Carmel Valley Village http://www.corkscrewcafe.com
The owners, Walter & Gaston Georis, also are the proprietors of Casanova &
The Biclyclette in Carmel. Gaston drives a Boxster.
Wine Tasting Bernardus Winery Tasting Room on 5 West Carmel Valley Road / Carmel Valley Village http://www.bernardus.com/Our-Story/Our-Story
Bernardus Winery is owned by Ben Pon, an ex-Porsche factory driver,
whose family are Porsche (& VW Group) importers for Holland!
Talbott Vineyards Tasting Room on 5 Pilot Road, Carmel Valley Village http://www.talbottvineyards.com/Visit
Talbott Vineyards was owned by a friend, notable motorcycle collector, Robb Talbott!
You can visit his motorcycle museum nearby! A must if you are into motorbikes!
**********
Carmel Mid-Valley Jeffrey's Grill / 112 Mid Valley Center / Great Breakfast & Brunch spot.
Halfway to Carmel Village. Closer to Quail Lodge & Carmel proper! http://www.jeffreysgrillandcatering.com
*******
By the way, you can drive from Carmel to Greenfield (on 101, south of Salinas)
via Carmel Valley Road using Monterey County G16 Road. Pretty twisty...and a
good Porsche interior road to drive!
*************
Here are some more recommendations in Monterey:
************
Finally, Monterey Bay Aquarium in Cannery Road, Monterey
(if you do one tourist stop, this is the one!).
World class aquarium on Monterey Bay! http://www.montereybayaquarium.org

Hope to see some of you at Rennsport this week!

Eduardo
On my way from Scottsdale to Carmel today!
Your list was incredibly helpful last time! Hope to meet people at Baja Cantina and around the event!! Rented a 991.2 Cab to drive PCH from Palm Springs to Carmel! So psyched!
For any of you coming to the Rennsport Reunion, Antigravity Lithium Batteries will be in the Expo section in booth P. Come by and say Hi!..... We'll have T-Shirts and plenty of other other stuff...
And of course check out the RS-30 Lithium battery that will save you about 35 lbs on your GT3s (or other Porsches). You will trip out on the weight of it..... We'll have the hood open in the GT3RS so you can see how the battery fits, and feel the weight compared to the stock battery. We can't wait to see you there!!

Reason: additional info
FOR SALE - hi everyone, I have 2 Flagroom tickets (with general parking pass) available for sale (Located in Los Angeles Best Western Hotel on Sunset Blvd till 10am, otherwise located @ PECLA until 5pm today).
Have had a family emergency and am flying back to Sydney on the first available flight (10:30pm LA Time today). Make me an offer on the tickets (pickup today only and you have to come meet me), otherwise the tickets will go to waste.

Premium is where I am parking my BMW motorcycle as I am riding up not driving.
Coral is P cars only.
The Premium Parking description states only Porsche cars are allowed to park in Premium Parking hence my question. Anyone know where I can find a map of corral spots?
I was told that Preferred parking is red area 9 but the person I bought the pass from said he parked behind the main grand stand previous years. You might call the track.
