My Laguna Seca Drive

Postby NocturnalTendencies »

Last year I won a Skip Barber Racing School "Introduction into Racing" class and recently gave it a go. Here's an edited recap including in-car video with real-time telemetry overlaid, feel free to peruse. It was a great time and if you're ever in California on holiday, you might consider this as it's quite the thrill ride on a legendary circuit.

One question... does your wee wee feel funny when you go over the first bind right crest of the corkscrew? :D
Very excellent experience, congratulations. The instructor seems to be having fun with that... what was it a Pontiac Grand am?

The corkscrew definitely gets your attention, that's for sure. Correct, he was driving a Pontiac Grand am. The instructors are very professional and push you to go faster every session.

That's awesome! I like how you hold the steering wheel like Jean Alesi :P
Rising number one of Formula 1, Juan - Juan, one wonders should Juan only win one Formula 1 one year, would Juan have won that one in round one, Juan??
