Nick Miller, PDC member at Laguna Seca - 2010
Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca is an 11-turn, 2.238-mile jewel of a road course on the Monterey Peninsula on California’s beautiful central coast. While the track is a favorite of racers and fans worldwide, many focus on one specific section – officially Turns 8 and 8A or, more commonly, The Corkscrew.
All legendary tracks have signature turns talked about in awe by those who have dared to race through them as fast as humanly possible: the Nürburgring’s Flugplatz, Paddock Bend at Brands Hatch, Monza’s Lesmo curves, Turn One at Indianapolis. But nowhere in racing is there anything like the Corkscrew.
On August 20, 2006, Toyota F1 test driver Ricardo Zonta set a new lap record of 1'06.039.

This is a video of me driving a Formula Skip Barber car during the racing portion of the Advanced Racing Course.
Not exactly Sebastian Vettel - but in my defence the guy in front was a 15 year old karting champion and about 90 lbs. lighter - and he ended up in the kitty litter! Check out the blue smoke and the car in the dirt on the right hand side at the end of the main straight at the end of lap 7.
