ABOUT F8 SPORTSCARS
F8 SportsCars (Previously F1 Motorsports) is an automotive service company built on a high level of love and respect for high end, exotic, rare and bespoke automobiles.
As a company, F8 is a symbol of nearly 20 years of experience in the field of automotive repair and maintenance. It’s a symbol of the last 10+ years of full dedication to the brands we specialize in like Ferrari, Lamborghini, Aston Martin, Porsche, Rolls Royce... Even Panoz, Beck and Delorean... They deserve love too. F8 is always a symbol of doing it right, and charging only what’s necessary. It’s about respect, honor and integrity. Most of all though, F8 SportsCars is a symbol of the passion, understanding and view of these cars that reminds us all that they aren’t just metal, plastic and leather. They are pieces of art, unfortunately sometimes stationary, sometimes art only in motion, examples of stature, prestige, or just an example of somebody’s personal taste. Either way, if you love it, we love it and that’s why F8 SportsCars exists.
We have a very strict compliance to manufacturer procedures and our "customer AND car are #1" view of client service is why F8 SportsCars is the go to place for anybody that expects their car to be respected as much as they do.

JEREMY KAMINSKI
OWNER/HEAD TECHNICIAN
"I knew I was going to be an automotive technician as long as I can remember, I’ve always loved everything about cars. When most kids had pictures of their girlfriends in their wallets and lockers, I had supercars. I had dreams of many things as a kid but cars were always the constant. It was always something I could rely on.
I’ve been working on cars professionally for more than 25 years and I have hundreds of hours of training from many of the leading manufacturers in the automotive industry. I have progressed greatly over the years but I started out as any mechanic does, as a kid changing tires and oil.
Working on cars and running F8 isn’t about just having a job for me, it’s about being able to do what I love every single day in a way that allows me to share that personal experience and passion with my clients. F8 is a physical representation of who I am and how I expect high end automotive service to be. I see every day as an opportunity to be better as a technician.
On the rare occasion I’m not at the shop, I’m relaxing or if the car-gods allow it, at a racetrack somewhere getting some much needed seat time."
Thought Provoking Question Of The Month
What is your favorite form of wheeled motorsports and why?
"My favorite type of motorsports is definitely road course racing. More specifically the GT class of IMSA. Having been involved in multiple types of racing myself, I find the amount of skill and focus it takes to lug a heavy powerful car around a road course while consistently trying to improve lap times just rivals any other type of racing I've done. Being able to become one with a car on a track has only happened on road courses for me so that's always going to hold a lot of value."

Justin Wylin
Technician
"I first got into cars because of my Grandfather. I always had an interest in cars, and my Grandpa saw it and invited me to go to his weekly car show when I was in fourth grade. Since then, I became so much more fascinated with cars, and I always thought it would be sweet to make them faster and fix them. I started working at a Ford dealer and then to another one, finally being blessed with the opportunity to work for F8 Sportscars. I own a Ford Mustang that I like to build and drive/race in my free time."
Thought Provoking Question Of The Month
What is your favorite form of wheeled motorsports and why?
My favorite wheeled motorsport is definitely NASCAR. I grew up watching NASCAR and even attended a few races over the years. In recent years I haven't watched or attended a race but I still do watch clips when I can. Even though most people say "it's just going in circles" or "it's only left turns" to me its still interesting to see the everyone trying to battle it out to get to the front.

"Hey! I'm Gabriel, I've been working with F8 for a little over 2 years. I knew this was the place for me so I weaseled my way in :3 I've loved cars ever since i was like 3 so its pretty cool hanging out around Ferraris and stuff all day. My hobbies are going to the arcade and hanging out with my friends. A future goal of mine would be to learn how to wrap cars."
Thought Provoking Question Of The Month
What is your favorite form of wheeled motorsports and why?
"My favorite type of Motorsports would have to be Formula Drift. The reason I like it isn’t because of drifting though. I like Formula Drift because it’s the only Motorsport where you take a perfectly fine car, and make it do something that the manufacturers would cringe if they saw. Modifying cars in such a way that they can barely even drive straight and shred thousands of dollars worth of tires, it’s just so cool to me."
