Excellent video, Jack. This is useful for anyone from a beginner looking to get comfortable, to more experienced drivers looking to shave time off their lap. This track can be very intimidating with the high speed that is possible, but if you are smooth and stick to the line that Jack lays out, there shouldn't be much drama.
It is amazing how similar your line in a rear-engined 911 is to mine in a 951 (which is not nearly as fast as your car!). I tend to gain on the 911s that are in my class in turn 2 and in the omega, but they always get a jump on me exiting 5 as they can get on the throttle earlier.
I will be there for the POC Triple Crown event in a couple weeks, and I hope to see some of you out there! Anybody who has run 1 PDS event with POC and has been signed off can come and run the big track, which is a great opportunity. I am excited as I haven't even run Willow Springs since they resurfaced it.
Thanks again, Jack, you should consider doing a series on all of the CA tracks that you run.

I'll most likely never go there but I watched the whole thing. Very nicely put together. Hey PCA Jack may be on to something here!

As someone who's never been there, I really enjoyed that and think you did a pretty good job narrating.
What I particularly liked were the main camera's viewing angle and the slow motion runs through each corner.
The only thing I might have changed would be to simplify the last full lap with commentary (for example, by limiting it to "Look for..." and "Wait for..." instructions).
