Ferrari Racing Days Laguna Seca - F1 Test Driver: Marc Gene - RECORD SETTING LAP!!

[@plm3d]

Man, I raced this track so many times in games that I know it by heart.

[@DJSt3rling]

me too, from the old gran turismo ps2 games LOL

[@prinzeugen1220]

And those games are so realistic too, they really make you feel you are there on the track. I did win a lot on the computer, but back in '94 I went to this two hour Bridgestone racing school and I spent two hours on the real thing. Only problem was the class only cost about $300 and in order to protect their cars we were told "speed is not important, just take the right lines, apex, downshift, bla bla bla.... we were "flying" on the straight at well over 60mph in those Camaros. The fun part was when the instructor was not in my car (he was in the first one, the other three followed) and I was last, so I would slow down, and then hammer it to catch the group. Did about 20 laps altogether, and some 15 years later when I got on the computer game, it felt so familiar, only no one to fuck with me to slow down all the time. I have posted the video from the 8mm that was part of the package

Laguna Seca is part of the wonderfulness of older race tracks. I remember Fittipaldi down through the corkscrew too many years ago. I think he came second but had pole (CART 1993?)I am old enough to remember Jim Clark at Brands Hatch screaming into Druids fighting for the lead, I forget when, probably 1965, but he won it four years in a row back then. Laguna Seca and Brands Hatch both had a lot of character, with wonderful memories. I know Laguna Seca lost out to Phoenix for the US F1 Grand Prix because it is too remote. A great shame because there are a lot more drivers I would love to see in the corkscrew. One of the best tracks in the world as far as I am concerned.

That’s because f1 cars have better grip, brakes and downforce than other race cars. Other cars usually enter this corner from far right instead because it’s the only fastest way to approach this corner in a slower and heavier car.

My complements, someone finally got the tyres correct, yah slicks! I would very much like to see this Ferrari unleashing all of its horses shod in a set of ultra-soft meats! I always disliked the FIA's (or perhaps Bernie's) decision to mandate grooved tyres during that era, even worse - the rule that required a single set of tyres to last an entire race. So foolish when tyre strategy is a massive component of Formula 1, it forced drivers to be ultra conservative managing wear, and required manufacturers to produce harder compound tyres that could go the entire race distance. How was a reduction in cornering performance and a conservative tyre strategy entertaining for the fans. Question: Did the grooves and the single set of tyres per race rule have to do with an attempt by the FIA to facilitate more passing opportunities? I can't remember anymore.

The one-set tyre were introduced with only one purpose: to prevent Schumacher/ Ferrari from dominating. Without no-tyre change ruling, very likely that we would not have Alonso as the 2-time world champion. What's worse was the 1-lap qualifying.

Yesterday, Lundgaard beat the 2022 IndyCar pole by 5 SECONDS and beat the 2000 CART lap record and got within .65 sec of Marc Gene's 2003 Ferrari F1 record lap time! All done in a heavy 2023 IndyCar and on a resurfaced Laguna Seca circuit. AMAZING!

Formula 1 is light years ahead of U.S motorsport. While Indy can be faster in a straight line at the top end of the scale it just cannot corner as fast or stop as quick and consequently it is simply left for dead.

[@wags2010]

***** it's by design. formula one is so expensive to compete in because of all that great technology, and sadly at current time, you know that only 1-4 drivers can win a formula one race before it starts. US motorsports wants to have more competitors in their series.

[@prophetascending9021]

wags2010 I definitely agree that Formula 1 tends to be stuck in a relentless cycle where it's always the same one or two teams at any given time winning everything. This year it's Mercedes and Ferrari. A few years back it was Red Bull and McClaren. In the 90s it was Williams or Ferrari. So I see your point. But with the inclusion of gimmicks like KERS and to a greater extent DRS, as well as no pit stop for fuel, we have seen F1 improve. Believe me it used to be a dull, predictable procession so it has got better. U.S racing does have a more purist, driver first type of competition which also has merit. Though my comment about the technology on F1 is valid.

Depends on the track and what is called for.... a NHRA top fuel funny car or dragster would leave the F1 car in the dust... and if you went back to the faster days of Indy cars they were faster in a straight line and could corner as fast and only lost out on the brakes because they were using cast iron rotors.

[@prophetascending9021]

duck Come on, comparing dragsters with f1 is ridiculous. I could counter by saying the British vehicle which holds the world land speed, Thrust SSC, is faster than any dragster. And believe me, no Indy car has ever been quicker around a circuit than an f1 car. An f1 car from 2006 was lapping about 6 seconds a lap quicker than an Indy car at Watkins Glen. As I explained, f1 cars accelerate quicker, have much better aerodynamics and so corner much faster, they brake quicker, change direction quicker, and over a 50, 60, or 70 lap race they would lap an Indy Car at any conventional circuit.

I did a 1:55 there once. Thought I was flying. Guess not.

[@BradfordtheEclectic]

A music soundtrack? REALLY?!!! Such a disappointment.

[@AeonAxisProductions]

the probably gotta raise the suspension super high because of the corkscrew having such a small curve as it flattens out and when it starts to go down

[@Kenneth45]

That stupid fisheye effect ruins the video for me. I wish they would have used a normal camera. I absolutely hate any kind of distortion...

[@Kenneth45]

***** Uh, the distortion is not THAT much. The car is well within the view of the track... You simply would not have as much of the peripheral vision.

[@Kenneth45]

Unfortunately. I guess conforming to the "rules" is all people can do now-a-days. what a terrible day it would be for a camera maker to actually give you the choice...

[@dariocp87]

That fucking music... Well done VISIONWELLS! .I.

[@mrjixk]

This track's in real racing 3, and I hate it!

[@andarax8]

C'mon man, it's a great circuit xD

[@fisichella78]

hehe, i hated it first, too, but i'm ok with it now :-)

[@jrearman]

Karmagician This track is in just about every racing game ever made lol

[@SkylordAh]

its not a hard circuit but its just ugly, the desert and stuff. Spa is way prettier also so is circuit de la sarthe

[@jacobm2625]

Skylord Ah Gaming it's actually not in the desert, it's just surrounded by a lot of yellow-brown dirt and yellow-brown grasses.

[@CharlieT98]

because with those high downforce plus high speed cars, with an added around 30% grip advantage on a flying lap, its very suprising he didnt tweak his neck
