Latest Laguna Video.. A couple of spins and a GTR putting two wheels off!!!

Here is some footage of my Girlfriend Sarah's "eventful" session two from her Intermediate group (mandatory pointby) at Laguna on the 4th and 5th.. A spin right in front of her as she chases down a GTR (that refuses to point her by, even though He's having the blue and yellow flag waved at him at EVERY corner) This is her 4th ever trackday and I'm pretty impressed by her progress. I think the fact that She's a pretty fast SportBike rider helps..

Sarah's Video, with Porsche spinout, then GTR two wheels off at turn 6:

I also posted a short clip of me dicing with a GT3 and Mobonic's 997S..

Cheers..

Great Videos thanks for sharing. I love your dipper before the yellow bridge/underpass.......love to have a track like that close to me.

Always tough with traffic on the track....... especially true when other drivers see a menacing Silver GT2 in their mirrors, makes them do some crazy things.

I kinda missed your commentary when you were driving in the second video.

.....what was the line the orange Porsche was trying to take??? Maybe it was the video angle but it looked like trouble from the very beginning. No offence to the driver, just an observation.

Enjoyed watching the video and the great driving. I've always wanted to drive Laguna. I've done hundreds of laps there on my Playstation.

Nice vids minus the clicking this time. Dammit I was hoping to make it down for this... looks like you and Sarah had a blast and are decent drivers eh

I loved the comment re: the GTR: "He's the mortal enemy - you must take him!"

Enrique, I might need to get that big brake kit deal you were talking about last time since I am feeling the need for a track day. I get my OZs and NT01s installed Tuesday.

Huge blow to the ego getting passed by a girl in a Porsche.

But with that type of driving I'm sure she deals a lot of blows to a lot of egos. Good stuff. When I make it to laguna, I'll make sure to stay in the paddock if she's driving so my ego can stay in tact.

That is some damn good driving...

I hate asses that don't give point by's. Inconsiderate bastards. The same type of sh*t happens on the interstates, and I like it even less when it happens on track.
