Camaro 1LE chasing down Vettes, Porches and BMWs

I put this video together from my Laguna Seca day on Monday. Passed a ton of vettes, porches and a beemer.

The audio sounds cool in the parts where I speed up the playback.

There's an off track experience at 6:59. Seems that this C7 Vette was accelerating too much between 7 and 8, braked too late and turned too narrowly and didn't have enough track.

Seems to be very consistent driving on your part, thanks for the footage!

That off track in front of you must have been a bit nerve wracking

It happened so fast I ended up passing him but shouldn't have. If you watch closely the flag man standing in front didn't raise the flag until I was already next to the C7 Vette.

Thanks. Yes, I'm lucky this world class track is 1.25 hours away from home and it's nice all year such that we can drive it any time. Then again, we pay an exorbitant premium for housing in the Bay Area.

I'd love to drive VIR someday.

You made the best move in that situation; and that was to avoid the incident and keep going.
The corner workers/track marshals will flag you if they want to talk about it but my guess is they saw you make the safest move to avoid it.
No harm, no foul!
And hey, if they call you in, just say you thought he was trying an Alex Zanardi pass!
