[Fot] Laguna Seca

[greenman62 at hotmail.com]

My instructor at an Audi Safe Driving School last year told me of a track day
he spent at Laguna Seca. He forgot to turn off the "ESP" (traction control)
when he first went out. When the car entered the corkscrew the ESP though the
car was falling and shut everything off. I was there two years ago...
amazing.

That's not a leak... My car's just marking its territory...
