The last 5 T-hill videos

Passing a 1st gen RX-7 race car (two RX7s side by side are freaking LOUD), then stuck behind an S2000 (no passing until the next straight)

Catching the S2000 and an older model Celica

Ok, it's not the RX7, but some of you mentioned wanting to drive Laguna Seca, so here's what it's like

And you thought driving to work in the rain was hairy Watch my slide in Turn 5 after I pass the S2000.
