ok everybody, it was my first track experience. and words just cannot describe how much fun i had. i'm not good with names and always forget, but i met the guy who owns the king motorsports s2000, the red one. wow was it nice and fast. he instructed me a little bit and drove my car at first, then i drove it with him next to me. after that, i took the track myself, and well, started off slow, but after some laps, i was having a heck of a time. wow there is such a big difference from the game gt3, compared to the tracks. after the first straight, on the first turn before there is a big decline and that turn i though was one of the hardest, also the blind turn or corkscrew, and the last turn were hard. on the corkscrew or blind turn, i was scared at first taking it slow and braking early each time, but as the day went by, i went faster and braked later each time, i found the line where you can just go full throttle down that turn after braking before the turn, wow, was like a roller coaster, only problem was changing to third gear coming down from that. i guess the people on this board who's been to laguna will understand what i'm saying... i have pictures... but hmmm... my girlfriend took the pictures, and well she didn't zoom in, and all the cars were tiny... i can post them up if you guys want... but it's funny. anyways, i can't wait to go to more track events, and back to laguna seca.

 

sounds like fun

 

forgot to mention, within 24 hours i drove 800 somewhat miles, track miles included, around 700 miles were highway miles... damn... also with 4 hours of sleep... wished i stayed the two days. more sleep, and definitely more fun on the second day if i stayed!

 

here is a link to a couple pictures... didn't put all the pictures up but here it is...

a Lancer EVO V and a Porsche 911 Turbo

 

Yeah, and don't forget the 1970s Chevy Van. wtf was that thing doing out on track?

 

nice pics . wtf is that van doing on the road?

 

Would that by chance be Nick Wong??? He is great guy and very helpful.

Sounds like you had a blast! I have always wanted to try Laguna out... maybe next summer after the Expo.

 

The van is probably an instructor showing the best line..... Mmm duh

 

first... forgot his name...
second... the van was during the parade... lunch time, where any car can go on the track at 55mph limit...
third... it's a GT2... modified version of the 911 turbo
forth... it's my friend evo V...
there were also a r33, and ferrari 360 modena... and a bunch of other cars...
i definitely like the king motorsports s2000

typing a little to fast or you just can't spell

 

lol hybrid ctr...
anyways... it's not licensed...

 

That must've been Nick Wong's S2000. Great guy IMO.

Laguna is the course I only dream about. I'm dying to get tracktime there someday.

 

i guess it's nick... is he 5'3 4ish? kinda chubby?

 

Wow! I wish I live in CA, where all the racing activities are. Laguna Seca one of the hardest course on GT3 (I think)...cool pics

 

laguna seca.... compared to gt3 laguna seca... the game is a lot easier... the game there is no fear... especially on the corkscrew turn... and a little on the first turn...
also the game... there is some details that are different...
the straights in the game are a bit longer it seems when playing the game... also the last turn in the game seems to be smaller...
i definitely liked the track compared to gt3 with steering wheel... i wonder how the other tracks they used compares with real tracks...

 

With you takling about Laguna, I have been thinking that I might want to head to California again, after the Expo to finally get on that track. Would anyone be up for a trip to Laguna?

 

The same weekend I wias at Tunderhill, no ITR, no WRX. But it was fun too.

 

Vazquez - Who is jealous the BIG tracks are SOOOO far away.

 

we should definitely have an event held at laguna... just too much fun... even though i haven't experienced any other tracks yet...
