✪ Alekshop | 1M Meets Laguna Seca

Finally we got a chance to take 1M out to burn some rubber, slice those sharp turns and play with other high hp cars

The event lasted 3 days and it was absolutely great ! A LOT of track time
Brake Pads gave up on very last day and we had to finish the day earlier

1M liked foggy mornings but was heat-soaking in the sunny afternoons ... After 4-5 laps being in 4k-7k rpm range most of the time , car became to feel more like NA car where you don't feel boost kicking in and the power is being delivered very linear ... M mode didn't make any difference either so it was fun to have it on for first 5-10 min ...

Overall 1M did very well and many people were caught off guard by how well this car performs at the track ... By all means I am not a pro-driver and I am sure the car is capable to deliver much more but we are still learning each other

Now to the fun part ...

Videos





Pictures










































Enjoy!

I notice the Lux Angel Eyes

However has this car had any tuning carried out on it or is it totally standard?

Nice! Thanks for the pictures and videos. I'd really love to do a few laps as Laugna Seca other than on a video game.

Nice Videos! Is that dashware you're using for the overlays or chasecam or another brand?

I was running PSC tires ... they did pretty good as long as you keep temps within a range Michelin recommends ...

Temps in the morning were 60F and reached 80+ F during the day ... Car was happy in the morning but during the day i was at 280-295 range ...

Wow, then I'm impressed! It seemed to pull very well in gear and I thought you had a remap on the car.

I was wondering if you guys were looking into an exhaust system for the next mod? If so.. would it be Einsenmann or Akrapovic?

Thanks!

Thanks!
We already ordered Akrapovic Evo with DPs . Just waiting for the system to arrive. Hopefully we can get FMIC , exhaust and other goodies installed before the next track day.
