I started off with Manual in the morning. 3rd gear is the sweet spot.

In my 3rd session I got an instructor and he advised I stay in auto mode (Sports) so I could concentrate on driving the "line" . The automatic ended up working quite well.

Wow! Looks like a ton of fun. I love Laguna especially when the MotoGP guys are racing.

Look at the stress on the tires going through the caroussel

Great shots! I remember playing Leguna Seca on PS2 (Gran Turismo 3) and it was my favorite track. Hopefully I'll be able to drive on it one day.

Did you try DSC off? Sure it's less "safe", but once you know the limits of adhesion, it could be more fun with it off.

that's a good idea. then in everyday driving, you would already know your X's limits...and feel less unnerving.
