Speed, Smoke & Smuggling: Racing’s Wildest True Crime Story

In one of the most jaw-dropping episodes yet, RM Sotheby’s Car Show dives headfirst into the surreal, high-octane life of Randy Lanier — IMSA champion, Indy 500 Rookie of the Year… and international drug smuggler.

Join host Peter Haynes and car specialists Will Smith, Anders Bilidt, and Felix Archer as they unravel Lanier’s extraordinary double life, from racing against Porsche in a 962 to smuggling 300 tons of marijuana via go-fast boats and private planes.

It’s a story of ambition, addiction (to speed), and anti-establishment rebellion — and Lanier wasn’t alone. The crew also explores the cases of Vic Lee and others who went from pit lanes to prison cells in pursuit of the motorsport dream.

This episode proves that truth really is stranger than fiction. Just maybe don’t try this at home…
