Parade laps? Funny thing about Laguna is that it gets really stacked up. Figure out how to get to the track during an event where you'll gladly be given a ride. Better yet, drive. (Yeah, yeah, I constantly rag on Laguna for the neutered configuration and the absurdity of the sound levels we're subjected to. If you're dying to drive it though, you should.)

Hope to see a ton of 951s there!

Is the track touring session the "parade lap"?

FGL28

The Parade Lap in 2009 was a classic Cluster ****. The Monterey County Sheriff sent motor officers to escort the drivers. It was not as fun as the Fontana Parade Lap.

RJT

Parade Lap for the 50th Anniversary of Porsche in 1998 during the Historics was slow... not a crawl.... but slow. They are what they are, a Parade, not a race. During the PCA Parade in 1992 (?) we went out in smaller groups so there was room to really enjoy the track a wee bit better.

Corkscrew + parade = fun

I don't think anyone can sign up for a parade lap thinking they will get to much of a speed at all. That's what DE's or Club races are for.

What would Ricky Bobby do?

SeaCay

We managed to get a little bit of speed at RRIII at Daytona. They blocked off the banking but the long straight allowed some to wind it up.

The 2009 Parade Lap at Laguna was a lot of fun for the wife, kids and me.

If only because we were driving my 993 on one of the most famous race tracks in the World.

At one point, I think I got it up to about 85 mph in the main straight.

I don't expect that to happen this time (more cars).
