they dont show the acctual lap because the expert driver wrecked this beautiful car.

[drivingsports]

Actually, we don't show it because we didn't have the time (it was a very hurried program) to set up both the meters and the cameras for the later runs. And, since we're primarily a print magazine, the data was more important.

you can see on the video how the wrx tends to understeer..

and yes.., the driver is no pro. but can you blame him?.. If i had a chance to run a wrx on Laguna Seca, I would too post the video on youtube.

I would do anything to take a brisk lap at Laguna Seca.

Great car, but that driver needs a lot of instruction. He should have had an instructor with him driving a line like that.

If you guy's are looking for a new test driver search tappy80 on youtube. He's fast, smooth & no fear ;)

Ya wanna see how to get round Laguna fast in a Subaru, goto my page and watch my brother Patrick tear it up. Did 1:38.5 fastest lap during Global Tuner Grand Prix last October and will be there again this year (if infact the event is still a go)

im not hating but i have a pretty sick 2006 sti . and i know what an sti is capable of. and the driver is driving kinda fast but it had more to go. i dont know if th@ was the warm up lap or what ever . but props on the run @ the seca dude ,im jelous

I don't know about you but the "corkscrew" is my favorite turn.

[Dfrogman]

line on last turn is horrible imo. Look like you exited it very sharp I think you could have carried way more speed if you didn't. IDK educate me 

[SuperColossal33]

@drivingsports I know this is late but here's some advice, take it with a grain of salt. I would only go for a late apex in T2 if I had a really high G car, as well you straightened the wheel too late, you need to use the entire track on corner exit and get up against the bumpers on the other side of the track. Your turn-in's and apexes were mostly great, just not following through.

T9 you want to start that wide almost on the outside bumper and get the car rotating early.

what's the time????????????

[kill2win666]
