Here we are at Laguna Seca Raceway! This is the first Mid-Engine C8 Corvette to lap this track. Also, this is my first ever time truly driving on this track. Massive thanks to the McLaren 600LT owner and GT3 RS owner for being so awesome to lap with! They are fantastic drivers, and I am really thankful to them for showing me their own driving lines. One of the best parts about track days is the amazing car enthusiasts you get to meet! As a result of the above mentioned, I was able to put down the fastest lap for a C8 Corvette at Laguna Seca Raceway. I cannot wait to improve my driving and get more acquainted with this unbelievable racetrack. For the conditions we were driving in during this event, I'm told the track was "green". That being, there hasn't been a track day for cars at Laguna Seca for around 3 months, this is the first. Since the track wasn't driven on thoroughly, it is more slick than usual because the lack of rubber left on the road course beforehand.

I want a c8 so bad. There hasnt been a car in my lifetime come out that I can say I've ever wanted more that I might actually one day be able to get. I enjoy my 2017 5.0, but it's not a c8. Chevy really did something when they made this car, and this is the closest a poor boy from Alabama will ever get to anything even remotely exotic looking. I always had a Lamborghini countach poster on my wall as a kid. Owning a mid engine car like this with this level of performance was never something I thought might be obtainable until now.

@@lawrencehoward7836 I agree. But nonetheless, the car is impressive. Had it been a 570s the outcome would have likely been different. The 600LT is specifically geared toward the track. It is over 400lbs lighter with 100hp more. A track version of the C8 with another 100-150hp more, more tire, and focused suspension would yield opposite results. But we'll have to wait for that.

Austin-At 11 min on the posted vlog: great correction and put down a slide that was nearly absolute perfection in my judgement as the slide got you between two points in the fastest manner possible and then you did that great...no, crazy steering correction. Your lines were awesome. I liked the way you hit some tight apexes to save distance. I did a food delivery during the Covid-19 with my C8, while you have learned another of America's great super tracks. Looked like you were ever more comfortable with your memory of the couple of difficult blind entries into turns, especially those left turns. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Willow clockwise while Laguna Seca is counter-clockwise? AF

great review, good deep braking on some of the corners ! In the beginning you were shifting down to 2nd when you did not have to, allowing the car to stay a gear up keeps the car settled and acts like a TCS out of middle speed corners. Remember fast laps are about shedding a little time off each corner not devastating a single corner or braking point trying to get it all at once.

3:14: discovered it in GT3 Aspec, 20 years ago. And it came instantly my prefered track of all time. I was a speciaslist of sims... Let say, there is Monza and Laguna Seca. Laguna is so special. Scorkcrew of course, but also, a few open tight virages that are not easy to handle... And of course it's a fast circuit, the design is made to make you push strong as soon as you see an opportunity. My favourite circuit on Earth. It's a Rubick's Cube. While you have the key, you will rule and enjoy it.

The brakes are unbelievable. You brake late and it shows your confidence. The Maclaren is obviously more powerful in terms of horsepower and torque as you can see from the last turn till the start to finish straigth but you are a better driver as your time is faster. You gain it on the curves and on late braking. Great video.

Dude great content. That corkscrew looks amazing. Bucket list track for me but not likely to get there. Just too far. I do have truck and trailer. Never say never. I just did Virginia International Raceway last week in my c7 grand sport for the first time. It might be the best track in the country. If you ever need a place to crash to come out and do Road Atlanta you have a place to stay. I’m an hour from Road Atlanta. My home track. Both VIR and Road Atlanta are really fast tracks. Anyway good stuff man. Good save at the end. Always fun playing with the exotics and Porsche’s

Laguna is my favorite, I just wish they would raise the sound limit to something more reasonable. I'll tell ya right now , the next level above this in terms of sheer fun and excitement is racing in Lemons , Lucky Dog , Chump Car. Team racing! 8hrs a day for 2 days

When you got this one , I recall you mentioning it was a base model. Did not mention the Z51 package. My friend is still waiting for delivery of his , but with CVID19 , he may actually get a 2021, even though his order was placed a while back. Fantastic driving. Thanks for sharing

Ah, Laguna Seca Raceway...fond memories watching IMSA racing there back in the 70's. At one race popped for a Pit Pass and as I strolled the pits, ran into Paul Newman. Those were the days of angry Porsche racers as Al Holbert ran circles around them with his Chevy Monza.

Kid, fantastic ride as always but, in addition, I must comment there were some brilliant moves...Great driving when tailing the Mclaren....Or should I say "pushing". What surprised the hell out of me whas that he couldn't out brake you into the turns... Is the stock C8 that good on the brakes? Did they hold there own well enough until the end? I woukd have exoected some significant fading against a Mclaren.

Liked the video and looking forward to start doing my passion on KZbin! I have a video posting right now of a review for my 16’ Rallye and work my way up to have a hellcat. I’ll keep the Rallye so v6 and v8 owners have a place talk about their cars without disgracing the v6 or v8 because it’s all Mopar baby! And I loved the video! Subbed aswell!

I don't know how you were able to become a racing driver at such a young age! I was drifting go-karts at age 5 and could out drive most adults by 10. Sadly a spine issues I had got worse and took my chances. I got by on courier work seeing how I could get to places in 15 mins that took others 45 mins to an hour! I didn't make much money but it kept me driving and that was all I cared about.... Until spring last year when I was sitting at a red light and got nailed by a woman on her phone in a truck doing 55+... now my legs hurt too much to drive much at all. I hope you know you are real lucky to be doing what you do, never take it for granted!

The C8 did better than I thought it would. I am sure when you get your hands on the C8 Z06 you will do it justice! And instead of you trying to catch them, they will be trying to catch you! I am in the Z06 order queue and looking forward to running Road Atlanta again and hopefully this time getting up to VIR.

You sure that was a 911 GT3 RS it looked more like a 911 GT2 RS. Hanging with either is amazin. Watch out Randy Porshe, here comes Speed Phenom

GREAT video and just a small comment I heard from a very fast racer who said that, "Smooth is not necessarily faster, faster is faster." Again great video. HA just now noticed the GT3 RS in your rear view. Awesome.

Wow! Great performance! It’s amazing how the C8 can hang with such exotics! I rode shotgun in a McLaren 600 LT in the Nurburgring last year and it’s so incredibly fast and agile. But I think that with a simple stg 2 tuning ( remap, exhaust and intake),the C8 can be as fast as the Porsche GT3 RS on the straights! Go get them! The C8 Z06 will probably take more than a year to launch.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

You do a pretty good job having not been around Laguna before. The C8 seems an incredible car. Your ability seems great,However you need some improvement in your driving line. Having won a number of races there I would be happy to give you the heads up. If you like. I know it’s a bold statement,but I have the credentials to back it up.

I can watch your hand doing the upshifts, I think, but am curious if I’m missing your manual downshifts. Are you downshifting or is the DCT managing the downshifts and throttle blips?
@tonym2513
@tonym2513 3 жыл бұрын
The c8 has a feature for downshifting in corners where you can do it manually or you can hold down the paddle and hit the brakes and the computer will put it in the lowest gear available for the speed you’re coming out.

You were clearly the better driver, but they had faster cars. Was that a 570s? At least $100k more than the C8, but it was funny how you kept catching them in the corners by taking a better line. But that's why I hate drag races, any idiot can stomp on the gas in a straight line and shoot off.
