Wayne Carini returns on Discovery Turbo with classic cars
MUMBAI: Discovery Turbo is lifting the hood on season six of the network’s signature series Chasing Classic Cars. Wayne Carini, host and legendary collector car archeologist, once again leads viewers into the exclusive world of high-end automobile collection where he finds, buys, restores and sells some of the finest, rarest vehicles ever made.
The series will kick off on 2 December and will air every Monday at 9 pm.
In the latest season, Wayne will pursue one-of-a-kind autos in secret stashes–homes, garages and barns–throughout America. He will also meet with some of the most respected collectors, restorers and artisans to bring viewers deeper into the elite inner circle of the classic car expert. From an iconic Mercedes Gullwing valued just shy of a cool million, to a duo of silky customs from legendary hot rodder Boyd Codington, to an affair with a collection of vintage motorcycles, this season has something for everyone.
Discovery Networks Asia-Pacific, Senior Vice President and General Manager – South Asia and Head of Revenue, Pan-Regional Ad Sales and Southeast Asia Rahul Johri said, “Discovery Turbo brings for its viewers the most extraordinary and rare vehicles they love to watch. They appreciate Wayne’s exceptional knowledge of these vehicles in addition to his passion for everything on wheels. It’s this combination that makes Chasing Classic Cars one of Discovery Turbo’s most cherished series.”
