[@1zornet]

Your instructional track videos are forever prepping me for my 1st track day at manny of our Calif tracks. Willow Springs, Cal Speedway and now Laguna Seca are all residing on my iTouch via TubeSock. Your such an asset to all new trackers. Thanks Colin. zornet

Thank you for this. Went to Laguna Seca for the first time in January and this video was really helpful.

[@adamdonovan5633]

Excellent. Big help on #2....when to bring it in for the late apex.

[@Tdeegs]

Headed there next week for first time. Great video thanks 👍

[@Darqhart]

Awesome video! Learning this track in games was a nightmare but when I figured it out, it was a lot of fun to drive. Could not imagine in real life. Takes some courage.

[@norcalmikebmw]

Thanks for the Video! I have done HPDE1 at Thunder Hill and although im signed off to do HPDE2, I am a bit nervous tackling Laguna Seca without an instructor. This helped a lot.

[@john4surf]

Great video! Going to the Jag driver's instruction at Laguna in June. The XKR driver's cars should be a hoot at this track! Thanks for the video!

[@jbelden916]

Only thing its missing is where to exit for pit road. Good video I like the descriptions overlayed with the video. Got my first track day @ Mazda on Monday can't wait.

[@MeetInvesting]

Excellent! Thank you very much!

[@KrissiSandvikSkelekitty]

Thanks so much for this video. I have my first Laguna Seca track day in a few weeks and this really helps!!

[@DudokX]

this track is blast on Formula BMW mod in rfactor. I improved my time after watching this by 0.2s thanks

[@surewin1773]

Love your videos

[@ActOwnTant]

When you are playing Real Racing 3, this could bring you some dejavu experience...

[@vandergaurde2033]

iRacing is on another level from Gran Turismo and Forza. It's hard to explain, but after playing iRacing for a few months I went back to GT5 and it was horrible. Really can't play it anymore. Above all else, it has great competition and it's a great training tool if you want to learn the layout of a track you plan on going to.

[@arsnakehert]

Have you tried Assetto Corsa? I played it in my friend's PC with a G27, and you can feel it's way superior to GT6. I'd like to know how it compares to other PC racing sims, though.

[@vandergaurde2033]

ive heard of it but i havent tried it yet... im curious also

[@bugsyjk]

gr8 vid, fascinating and informative, nice 1

[@SledgeHammerMarine]

Thank you. I'll see be there April 9th.

[@CaptainCrunch99]

Nice guide !

[@zVlPERz]

Does laguna seca have any open track days? i cant find any

[@kittymoomoo]

Hi. Great video! I love this track, I just raced on this track in Forza 3 after watching this video and I got better time because I had always struggled on turn 11. =) How can I drive (not real race, just driving for fun) on this track in real life? Like how much do I pay, what kind of days are available? Thanks so much

[@Atrax1207]

I like the new RaceRoom Racing Experience, their marketing model is a bit flawed imo but cars feel very realistic with Get Real driving model and without assists. You can really feel the car with a good steering wheel.

[@kriskrisecki5367]

Could you pass this track through using Viper GTS? I've got a bunch of problems with getting the gold licence in Gran Turismo 2, so that kind of tutorial would be helpful. Thanks :) Great vid, btw :)

[@Zextraterrestrial]

hope this helps a little for next weekend REFUEL EVent- thanks Model S should be fun out there

[@m3lowiesvlog715]

Where's the 90 db check point at?i appreciate it!

[@colinlucas]

Its on the right side just past turn 5.

[@m3lowiesvlog715]

colinlucas thank you brother!

[@KPAX00]

from turn 5 to overpass - shift up to lower revs and sound

[@sumguy8]

was your instructor hooch by any chance?

[@retrogameshow]

Great video! thanks man

[@tomhelvey9372]

Thanks!

[@remaster1981]

Seeing this makes me wanna play Gran Turismo soooo bad...!!! :-)

[@TobeyNord]

follow the lines just like in GT ps2/3

[@NuggetEternal]

That corkscrew turn that's scary!

[@KPAX00]

I turned in to early and got the "slightly airborne" clunk landing. WAIT for it.

[@epvendetta]

Perfect

[@scorcher004]

watching this to help with my rr3 times

[@toiy2]

I remember this whole track because of GT4 :)

[@justino9241]

I play Gran Turismo Sport and now GT7 will be out for Playstation 5. A lot has changed lol.

[@dwinsemius]

Turn 3 is 100 degrees.

[@colinlucas]

It does not appear to be. imgur.com/a/k2SqmlS

[@dwinsemius]

@@colinlucas Put the base of the protractor on the racing line.

[@colinlucas]

@@dwinsemius "X% turn" is the actual turn, not the racing line, but with it at the racing line its almost the exact same.

[@dwinsemius]

@@colinlucas Yeah. I think the racing line would actually open up the measurement, anyway. When I take a picture of that map and then measure it with an iPhone app protractor, I get 95 degrees. The 100 degrees figure came from the racing coach I was riding with and I was just faithfully (or is that blindly) repeating what I heard on Friday. It doesn't matter that much. I had way more trouble with the braking for turn 2. Something about coming over that rise at 100 mph and looking down the hill at the end of the straight made me want to immediately brake.

[@colinlucas]

​@@dwinsemius I always screw up turn two in the simulators. You lose the fear that makes you brake early enough for a tight downhill corner. Its funny, the reason that I made this video years ago was because I was instructing that day and was in a Corvette with a student. We were coming down the straight just before the rise and she looked over at me and asked if the next turn was a left or a right.

[@JesusIsGod222]

i recommend you get iRacing man .. i use to play Forza .. and you would love iRacing . more realism more competition and less wayyy lesss wreckers

[@asrdarkhorse96]

Fuck playing.. I wanna drive!

[@Fujjidom]

sick

[@iamVnesa]

Is it weird that I know this track's every nook and cranny because of GT5? Btw I played the same track in forza and its not as realistic as the one in gt5. Thank god for racing simulation lol

[@JesusIsGod222]

got it iRacing here i come : )

[@yongyhu3612]

😴😴😴 WHAT IT DoNE

[@user-zc8hg5mz3v]

who is watching this in 2018?

[@colinlucas]

Line hasn't changed and it comes up pretty high in searches. As soon as I can get up there again i'll take a higher res video.

[@pilotres1605]

@@colinlucas 2024, still working great. I'm improving consistency on iRacing

[@rakunn]
