New Track Record at Laguna Seca in a Toyota F1 car: 1:06.309

Video/ TV does not do the corkscrew justice at all. They say equivalent drop of 2-3 stories, but in the vid it just looks like another turn....

I always wanted to see the track after turn 5 and up to corkscrew.

 

Damn he was hauling monkeys ***.

So who had the previous laguna seca laptime record?

 

F1 cars will always be faster than bikes. Sick video though.

 

cars will always be faster, nothing can make up for their cornering advantage.

only makes sense...however that car was hauling ***.

 

It was Ricardo Zonta. It was during the Rolex Historic race. He broke his own record. Before that it was Helio Castorneves in a Champ Car from 2000.

He said he thinks he could have gone quicker, but some spots were slippery from older cars leaking oil. Go figure.

 

awesome video

 

makes me think that if F1 ever ran a race there, race laps would be close to 1 min, qualifying times possibly under a minute.

 

i was there, it was pretty cool to see. crowd got pretty rowdy when he came by and did donuts too

previous record was 1:07.XX held by a shifter kart

 

good vid!

Actually he broke his own record.

 

i was referring to the record before that weekend

he set 3 hot laps faster than the kart, i merely meant that the kart was the next fastest driver/vehicle around the track

Hmm. Actually he broke his own record from last years event. Before that it was held by Helio Castorneves in a Champ Car in 2000. Maybe I'm confusing whay you're saying.
