@aBBlade1 After a few laps you're able to judge the turn-in with more precision than one can imagine without actually doing it. My first time at LS I was on a bike. Needless to say that first time over the hill, looking at grass (which is what you see if you're not looking left in anticipation of the turn) was a real clincher.
Why do you always go straight from what looks like 4th to 6th gear at the bottom of that hill and then go right back into 4th for the next turn? e.g. 4:34 and 4:41
Why not just leave it in 4th or just go up to 5th and come back down?
just curious... also other comments are saying it is a 5-speed car, but it definitely looks like you go into a 6th gear
@averyncvc - it is a 5-speed w/ a dogleg shift pattern. 1st gear is down and to the left. Laguna Seca has ridiculously low sound limits measured from a booth between Turns 5 & 6.
Your driving technique is almost flawless. Except you should try pulsating on the throttle through corners and apexes so you minimize the rear sliding out on you
Having lived in Pacific Grove, I've been to Laguna many times.Coming up that blind hill to enter the legendary "corkscrew" is where the men are made. Well driven!!!
lol, people on roebling road upshift just before the sound meter near the blend line also.

A 928 S4 with a manual gearbox? You did well to find one of those. Cracking driving as well

Whenever he lets off the throttle of that ferocious, yet sexy Porsche 8 cylinder, you can here the fiesty little M3. Great video, and great driving.
