Playstation enthusiasts who began playing the original Gran Turismo game would find the famous Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca very much familiar, especially that cork-screw section that requires you to get on those breaks as late and as hard as possible before that down-hill left-hander!

Then again, with a 6.3L V8 of a beast with 450bhp and 600Nm of torque under the matt black hood, who would have thought this car could have made drifting look so darn elegant, especially down Laguna Seca’s cork-screw. And with that much power at the foot of AMG Driving Academy Lead Instructor - Reinhold Renger,
However, on the flip side, the corkscrew is one that's pretty infamous for many high-powered wheeled machines and is very much capable of weeding out those who have gotten a little complacent thanks to the rigours of motor racing, and if you've made a mistake at that section, most of us would know, you're just along for the ride.
