How To Go From Last To First At Laguna Seca
How To Go From Last To First At Laguna Seca-February 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:29

Last place? No problem. No problem at all.

Here’s a video from this past weekend’s BMW CCA Club Racing Oktoberfest event at Laguna Seca. Behind the wheel of this E46 M3 is racer, driving coach and friend of Jalopnik Anthony Magagnoli of .

Anthony raced alongside us last year at AER Mid-Ohio, and I can tell you he’s one fast motherfucker.

Here’s some video proof: watch the dude go from last to first in just three laps, despite failing ABS and a horrific banging sound that later turned out to be the exhaust midpipe falling off the header, as he says in the video description.

Good stuff.

I Drove The Perfect Car: This 1970s Volvo Rally Legend
It doesn’t make a lot of sense that the very pinnacle of driving would be a box-on-wheels old Volvo on a patch of dirt and ice in rural New Hampshire. But I don’t need life to make sense. [This weekend I drove historic rally cars representing every decade from the...

Lewis Hamilton Bashes F1's 'Halo' Safety Concept, Wants Choice On Whether To Use It
Between safety and style, it’s pretty obvious which takes a higher slot on the importance list—unless, of course, you’re three-time Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton.
