I built a virtual ITB GTI just like my car and took it around Laguna Seca in 1:48.9 (Real track record is 1:50.6 I believe) so I guess I got its pretty close but optimistic, too bad the replay doesn't show the rear tire lifting, and it's a little fast...But in the virtual world you can be a little braver I guess too. Anyway, I have never been to this track and only did 10 laps in the game (in this car, did hundreds in other virtual cars) But....

Turn 1 flat out
Turn 2 brake very late, top of 2nd, accelerate and be in 3rd just after the 2nd apex
Turn 3 lift top of 3rd then flat out through the corner, 4th just after corner
Turn 4 flat in 4th
Turn 5 short hard brake into 3rd, up into 4th just before the bridge
Turn 6 lift in 4th, then on the gas at apex (I have a hard time believing this corner can be taken like this on the real thing)
Up the hill in 4th, lift over the crest wait a heartbeat at 7 and brake for...
Turn 8a top of 2nd into 3rd before 8b
Turn 9 flat out in 3rd, 4th on exit
Turn 10 short brake, into 3rd
Turn 11 brake, 2nd, gas...pretty simple corner

Is this accurate or way off?
