Three Days of World-Class Access: One Drivers Club at Northwest Exotics Weekend 2026

Northwest Exotics Weekend was full of opportunities for One Drivers Club Seattle Members to admire unique vehicles while showcasing some of their own. The most coveted cars the community had to offer were on display at each of three events, and more importantly, the area’s most enthusiastic car collectors were there as well.

Friday, August 21st: “The Art of Cars” Panel Discussion

On Friday, Yahn Bernier, a local collector and prominent figure in the One Drivers Club community, opened his home to Members for an in-depth panel discussion.

“The Art of Cars” panel was made up of three figures renowned in the automotive world:

Jason Cammisa: Award-winning automotive journalist, TV host, and creator of Hagerty’s hit shows Icons, Revelations, and The Ultimate Series

Randy “The Rocket” Pobst: Legendary championship racing driver with 90+ professional wins, winner of 2 Rolex 24hrs, and popular Hagerty/MotorTrend host.

Derek Tam-Scott: Specialty car broker, co-founder of OTS & Co., and co-host of The Carmudgeon Show with Jason Cammisa on the Hagerty Podcast Network.

The discussion included unique stories from the speakers’ careers, and gave Members a behind-the-scenes look into the automotive world.

Proceeds from the event went towards LeMay - America’s Car Museum.

Saturday, August 22nd: Cars and Cocktails

Members were hosted at Yahn Bernier’s home again on Saturday night, where an exclusive cocktail party transformed into an intimate car show..

Both the cocktails and the conversation flowed.  Despite the many notable collectors and esteemed attendees, unique cars were the real center of attention. The special guest: a Porsche 917K from the McCaw collection, a vehicle that hasn’t met the public eye in nearly 15 years. Access was strictly limited to attendees.

Sunday, August 23rd: Northwest Exotics at Carillon Point

While the Northwest Exotics Weekend events bring together automobile lovers from all walks of life, the community aspect is what makes these events truly special.

By the time the main event arrived, One Drivers Club Members and attendees alike were buzzing with anticipation. Northwest Exotics at Carillon Point housed over 1,000 attendees at its peak, a crowd full of automotive enthusiasm.

This year’s event directly benefited the Heart of Racing Team, an organization that supports the Seattle Children’s hospital’s pediatric cardiology department. The team showcased their outstanding Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR-LMH, a car that races in IMSA and WEC. It was truly a spectacle.

The event also featured one of the most famous pre-war cars of all time: The Bentley Speed Six Gurney Nutting Coupe. One of the finest, and rarest, displays of the day came from a Ferrari showcase: the grouping of the Ferrari “Big Six” (288 GTO, F40, F50, Enzo, LaFerrari, F80).

Other standouts included:

Aston Martin Valkyrie (road car)
Aston Martin Valhalla
Mclaren P1 XP Carbon
Mclaren Senna Carbon
Gordon Murray Automotive T.50
Porsche 906
Pagani Huyara Roadster
Koenigsegg Agera RS “Ruthie”
Porsche 918
Porsche Carrera GT

A Success-Filled Weekend

The weekend was an undeniable success. One Drivers Club Seattle had a strong Member presence at all three events, and many of their own cars were featured. One Drivers Club made their mark on Northwest Exotics Weekend, and will continue that momentum down the road.
