Gasoline, Diesel and even jet fuel made out of thin air- it sounds like science fiction, but it's now a reality.

Rob McGinnis and his team at Prometheus Fuels in Santa Cruz, California have developed a way to extract the elemental building blocks from the atmosphere and turn it into synthetic hydrocarbons that can then be formulated into just about any fuel you want.

They say they'll beat the current price you see at the pump, and the process is carbon neutral, relying on what's already swirling around us. This could be the future of fuel!

One of the biggest trends in the upper echelon of car culture is the development of private racing circuits... where members can really take their machines into "the zone" and exploit the performance of today's most sophisticated supercars.

The Concours Club is one such facility, a state-of-the art "motorsport country club" with all the amenities- a highly versatile circuit, professional driving coaches, a fleet of BMW M2 Club Sports, and gourmet food and beverage service in an elegant trackside restaurant- all just minutes from the heart of Miami, Florida.

It's also a venue for many signature motorsport-themed events each year, including the Flat Six Fest featuring historic competition Porsches.

Aaron Weiss is president of The Concours Club, and he's built a remarkable career on the business side of the track. In this episode, you'll learn what it takes to manage this world-class motorsport playground.
