VIDEO: Lap of Laguna Seca from inside Corvette ZR1!


The folks at Corvette Quarterly have been holding onto this vid ever since the Corvette ZR1 was trotted out at Laguna Seca in October for a hot lap. In it we get a cockpit's view of the track from inside the most powerful Corvette ever produced, but aside from the visuals, we really get rockin' to the soundtrack that features a distinct and glorious supercharger whine right at the beginning as the car's leaving the pits that just can't be denied. And while the driver was taking it easy, there's plenty of tire screeching and V8 rumbling to the redline that can be heard, too. Enjoy!

Re: VIDEO: Lap of Laguna Seca from inside Corvette ZR1!

Nice lap but don't know why he downshifted on the straights after turns 6 and 7 I don't think this was the same driver who did the promo lap at Laguna Seca.

Is there any more info on this?

Clearly it was not being run all-out. But enough to get the taste of it.

Agreed, the promo lap was much faster and the driver drifted slightly through turn 1.

The earlier vid that has been out that showed it pulling out of the pits (and freaking sucking the headlights out of the Porshe behind it) was actually a bit more fun to watch, though short.
