This week, Derek and Jason have an experience at Sonoma Raceway with Range Energy, a company focusing on hybridizing long-haul trucking. It's an ingenious solution to the problem of reducing emissions and fuel consumption, without needing to throw away existing diesel tractors.

And while they were there, they take Jason's e-Golf on the race track. Because, stupid.

But the idea of electricity helping combustion engines is what propelled Porsche to install a hybrid system on the 992.2 911 GTS.

Also, Derek drives a Lucid Sapphire around Sonoma Raceway.
