It's been a good long time since I've been at SIR/Pacific. That lower section can really get busy when you push it! The condition of the track surface looks a little better than I remember... back then the concept of track maintenance was to merely paint the potholes with yellow spray paint. Great video; Thanks!

I really need to check out the Ridge, it's just such a freaking haul down there, then back after tracking all day.
Learning curve is gonna be steep haha. Stock suspension and AWD to fully setup car with RWD. I'll have to take it easy for a day or two.

The Ridge is great.. This is from my first time out there, still learning the track and playing with the lines a bit so my times are ****, but had a lot of fun... Got scolded earlier in the day for being too aggressive/too fast closing speed on traffic so I was really cautious getting around people. Too fast on a race track

i believe they repaved a lot of it, in particular turn 2 so you're seeing a lot faster lap times.

Yep, I used to run mu old M3 out there and it was fast as snot because the stock suspension handles horrible track surface very well, like most older bmw's .
