Laguna Seca HDPE Video!

Here is a video of my first ever HDPE track day at Laguna Seca. The day went great, a Audi RS4 blew his motor and a few cars spun out and got dirty but no crashes all day

I am completely stock, and now I am looking into a set of new ride springs and camber plates before I go to another track day.

Let me know what you think, my best lap time was 1:57.

Here is the video: http://www.mediafire.com/?7eqotjhlotz

No I have never done that before that day, but I am definetly going back for more in a month or so. I only know the racing line from PS2's Gran Turismo, but this was my first time in seeing it in real life.

It did seem like a jab. You even threw it the ol' "MR suspension" thing for good measure.

For the OP: I have always wanted to do a couple laps on that track. I too used to drive it on Gran Turismo. Judging by the video it is amazing how close the game actually is to the real thing. I bet you noticed alot of differences in real life, though.
