Great beginner guide. Running my first track day with Trackmasters there next weekend. I've run multiple days at Laguna and both east and the five mile at Thunderhill, so finally ready to give Sonoma a try. Run it on the simulator a bunch of times then have done some ride-a-longs so familiar with the layout but still going to take it really really easy and slowly work up.
Sears point raceway was my account with frontier communications out of Sacramento 1995-97. My brother raced porches 911,went to monterrey, laguna Seca with the porche club,as he raced porces at daytona beach,fl
I did Sonoma first time on a track. First lap turn 8 scared the shit out of me. After that it was pretty much flat out in a Dinan Supercharged E36 M3. The only other scare was turn 11 passing multiple cars going into that turn the car almost understeered into the wall. Years later I don't know if I can drive like that on the track.
Another good video! Nice narration to go along with it. Calling out the turn numbers is helping me prepare for my track day. The only thing you could add is calling out the flag stations.
It's good practice to lightly left foot tap your brakes before a major braking zone to ensure your brakes are ready to go. Here's a video explaining it: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PgYNeEVNbTs.html
