Race track inside of a State funded County public park. My enormous Cali taxes say...I'll see you there.
For research. I'll need my SPL meter to measure sound levels out of turn 5. Don't wanna get black flagged for passing 90dB when I'm there in the same car. |

Information insufficient. More comments on experience, required.

So took like 10 videos, and like 10 pictures. but it was far away.
I caught some video of it driving through the following corners
I don't know if I'm allowed to post or not. I saw some people when they got near the souvenir area signing some waiver - is that for the press? Here was some of my descriptions - I posted this in the general section: "So I just woke up 7am and drove to Laguna Seca to watch the M2 race around the track for about 2 hours. I was totally worth it. Obviously, this was for press do i didn't get anywhere close to the cars expect on my way out when I was able to see one before I got back on the highway. I did capture photos and video clips (small 10 second ones) - I don't know if I'm allowed to post - trying to understand this rule. Couple comments: The LBB is indeed the color I want and I'm super excited about it. The car is mostly blue, but during direct sunlight and high intensity, you can see the teal/turquouse but its not that bad., the blend at full sun is about 80/20. There is a hint of green and I mean ...a small hint. If there is any dark shadows, the car gets super blue. The exhaust sounded great - I could hear it about 400 yards away when the car was just driving causally. I can definitely hear it all over the track. I think besides the corkscrew - yes I saw the car drive through it, Body roll look super controlled, i can hardly tell but I'm no expert. BSM was the big shocker - it was the pace car - supposedly driven by a pro driver while the press drove the LBBs, there were actually two BSMs. The surprise was that the BSM looked MEAN and I reallllllly liked it. It didn't show the fangs and the lines as much as the LBB but it just had this mean presense. Could be the styling. I have video going through the corkscew from far away, and other corners. As well as it leisurely driving around the park." |

BSM all the way for me. Will be my 3rd black car, so I already have all the polishing gear.
