I don't think Laguna is too scary. It's got flow and you can see most corners so it's not hard to imagine where the track should go before you actually memorize it. There are topography and landmarks to follow.

Turn 1 is a kink on the main straight over a brow, so just remember to aim/angle the car kinda to the left to keep on the track. Turn 2 is a hairpin where there's no single right way to do it, but if you manage to get towards the outside it always seems to be loose out there. Turn 3 is just a little bit tighter than 90 degrees. Turn 4 is just a little bit greater than 90 degrees. Turn 5 you line up under the bridge and late apex to go up the hill. Turn 6 is just a touch of the brakes. Going up the hill, you line yourself up to the overhead bridge to aim yourself for the kink of turn 7, which is done under braking making it a little bit tricky for the entrance to turn 8a/8b, the Corkscrew. Remember to aim for the 2nd oak tree when you turn left for the Corkscrew, as you can't see the track surface itself. Turn 9 is a late apex as you go under another bridge. Turn 10 is a straightforward downhill right-hander, and turn 11 is a tight hairpin leading back onto the main straight.

That's your own damn fault.
I'm horribly spoiled as well.....I've spoiled myself......I'm like cabbage and salt locked in an airtight jar.

...I'm like cabbage and salt locked in an airtight jar.

Is that the proverbial 'fart in a jar'.

[HHI944]

Sauerkraut does kinda smell like farts......but damn it's delicious!

[Outback Porsche]

Cabbage is one of them fart fuel foods, like beans.

[HHI944]

Wanna really mess with the chaps at the office?
I present to you 'Jalapeño Sauerkraut'
friggin epic farts!

[Outback Porsche]

Hehe, I'm gunna have to remember to hunt for some of that.

[Outback Porsche]

I'm gunna have to go quietly for a few days after last nights experience with the bum burner pepperoni.

I'm frightened to 5hit at the moment.

Come on ice cream, should alway follow hot foods (bum burners) with ice cream.

[HHI944]

So, I normally tie my dog to a patio chair while I'm outside......she just lunged at a toad, broke the damn chair and swallowed the toad whole....my dog is a psycho...

[Outback Porsche]

I can just imagine the missus's face when I start spooning ice cream on my freckle

Oh, you mean eat the ice cream....whoops!

[RKDinOKC]

Whichever feels the best

[Jim Richards]

I'll never eat ice cream again.

Enjoy. Just don't leave your mark on the International Wall of Colors (inside of turn 6).

Interesting trip down here. Only have seen 4 Porsche autos on the road.

[GH85Carrera]

1st session is done. Wow what a thrill. The corkscrew is a blast done right. Only went over the curb once. I wish I knew the track better. 2nd session is in 20 minutes.

[GH85Carrera]

It is 60 degrees and light overcast. I have never done a track day in such cool weather. The engine temp never got to 210. The brakes were good and hot.

Have fun Glen, keep the shiny side up
