Super cool. I wish there was a long version available with the full lap from each car, maybe including some inside and outside views.

That is a sweet video. On the subject of awesome Porsches' and Laguna Seca I recently came across this video of Chip Robinson's son Skylar giving this ex-Dyson 962 a kickass workout around the track. Some of the best 962 compressor surge and wastegate noises I've ever heard in a video. Check it out:

That was awesome, but yes at least 1 outside shot of each car would have been good.

Great clip! I also wanted some outside shots. Found this video, couldn't find how to embed with my iPhone.

That track is amazing, and in an amazing place.
Looks like the 919

Laguna Seca track...........

A few years ago, my son and I took the 1 day Skip Barber driving course. At the end of the day, we got to spend about 45 minutes driving the track. I was in a Porsche Boxster and my son got a 911. Should have been the other way around as I own a 911 and he had a Cayman at the time! Loads of fun, especially the "corkscrew" portion just before hitting the front straight. Oh, yes, the best part was that my son paid for the day for both of us as a gift for funding him thru college (Ga. Tech).

Hope he wasn't a "rambling wreck" that day
