- Amazing weekend at Austin's Circuit of the Americas (COTA) for Super Lap Battle / Just Vibes Hard Parked Showcase last weekend! I had the opportunity to interview Phil Robles from RCR Garage whose EG Civic won the Gran Turismo Award at SEMA in 2017 and has since been scanned into the game. This car is K-Swapped, turbo, has a Quaife Sequential gearbox, and Pandem widebody kit.
The Robles family are absolutely wonderful people to speak with and I can't thank them enough for hanging out this weekend!

Thanks for the interview Jesse!! If you ever make it to Arizona, stop by the shop and have a beer with us 🤙
Pleasure was all mine, Phil! But that sounds like a plan, hazies right? 😂
@@GTJesseYes indeed 🍻

Hey Jesse! Jesse here, dude great vid brother! It was awesome meeting you. Sorry I was so distracted with driving man. That was a mental challenge 😂👍. If ever you are in the phoenix az area, you’re more than welcome to come by and hang/ sim race/ rip around with all the silly toys etc. 😁💯
Jesse! What’s up dude! Thank you man 🙏. I know it was a crazy weekend for you guys and hot lapping COTA in the sim is stressful enough, I can only imagine IRL. Sounds like a great plan though brother! Likewise if you’re ever in the Dallas area!
You did not lie, what a great drop, 😊. Very pleased for you, what a wonderful experience and superb access, you must have felt like a king 🎉.
Phil seems like a very open, friendly and passionate man and you are correct, the beard absolutely rocks, 💯. Quality interviewing techniques on display Jesse, there really is a job there, you just need the opportunity 🤞😍.
Like deployed 👍
Thanks Juby, glad you enjoyed it mate! The whole experience was an auto enthusiasts dream. COTA during F1 weekend is so closed off and “exclusive” based on ticketing tier that I was completely blown away by how much free rein we had all weekend. And I’m not sure what happened, if I was in interview mode after being interviewed myself for my buddy @joelsdriveway podcast earlier, but the light switch just flipped and away we went. The car was absolutely awesome to see and the family was wonderful to speak with. Great vibes! 🤙
@GTJesse it really sounds like an awesome experience, I am so very happy for you, here's to more of the same, 🍻 .
Sounds like a great weekend buddy, you're a lucky man.
It really was! Thanks man, I’m still riding the buzz from the weekend ☺️
I'm very sad that I didn't get a chance to meet Phil and his son this past weekend. I had seen his car on Larry Chen's channel. Didn't know he was coming to SLB. I was only able to attend Sunday because of work. I saw his car from behind as I was walking up the paddock. Someone had just finished putting fuel and I took a pic and thought that car looks very familiar. It wasn't until later that I realized it was him (and that car) when I saw his pic and car in the booklet they were handing out! Very interested in his build as I have the same hatch I'm building for NASA time trial and time attack events. Great video, I'm a new subscriber
It was a great experience man. The whole SLB event was top notch, but I will say getting to meet and hang with the Robles crew was the icing on the cake. Made it a truly special weekend to remember. Next time buddy 🤍
Awesome video Jesse, Phil’s one cool dude 👍
He most definitely is man!
The just vibes car show was trash. The whole setup was tragic. It’s gotten worse as the years have gone by and the music was just as bad. Super Lap Battle and Lone Star Drift keeps getting better as years go by though!
Really? I enjoyed the show and layout. I thought the location was good, central. I haven’t been in prior years but def agree the SLB and Drift were awesome .
