His byline has appeared in Architectural Digest , Azure , Departures , enRoute , Forza , The Globe and Mail , Intersection , Luxury Magazine , Montecristo , NUVO , Robb Report and the Toronto Star . Mark has also competed in a range of motorsports over the past 20 years. He finished on the class podium at Targa Newfoundland three consecutive times from 2004-06. In 2011, he raced at the Nürburgring Nordschleife with the factory Aston Martin team. In 2013, he became the first journalist to race in the Ferrari Challenge, finishing third in class in both outings. In 2019, he was the first journalist in the world to race in the Jaguar I-PACE eTrophy, the first-ever all-electric produc- tion car race series. MERCEDES LILIENTHAL Award-winning journalist, photographer, and contributor for The New York Times, Car and Driver, Forbes, Autoblog, TREAD Magazine, and more, Mercedes Lilienthal creates engaging editorial covering the auto- motive industry, global travel and experiences tied to it, and inspira- tional people doing their part to change it. Mercedes uses creativity as a wordsmith to craft unique, carefully curated content (primarily using her own photography). Mercedes was born to German immigrants who moved to the United States without knowing a word of English. A dual citizen of Germany and the U.S., Mercedes travels the world and competes in automotive rally events as a competitor/media. She’s partnered with auto- makers like Volkswagen of America, Subaru of America, and Jeep. She successfully piloted an all-electric crossover 1,400 miles across a barren desert with her co-driver, a map, and compass. With her husband as the driver, Mercedes navigated their 1991 diesel Pajero to the Arctic Ocean and back in temps to -43 degrees Celsius during a 10-day, 8,000-plus-kilometer road rally, and more. Mercedes expects the unexpected. She documents each experience along the way. MARK RICHARDSON Mark Richardson writes about cars and motorcycles for The Globe and Mail , and is the former editor of the Toronto Star’s Wheels section. He loves a good road trip, and has written books about riding and driving across North America: In 2004, he retraced the route of Robert Pirsig to San Francisco in Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, and in 2012, he drove the length of the Trans-Canada Highway to celebrate its 50th anniversary. It was first opened to Canadian drivers on the same day he was born, which kind of made the road trip a done deal.
