From dream to reality – I always believe if you can dream it, you can achieve it.
As a passionate car enthusiast, I have been playing racing games as long as I remember. There is one track that I love and have driven countless times with a variety of cars.
My dream has always been to drive my own sports car on this track and experience the real thing. It was not until I got my dream sports car and the new Forza 6 with the new Xbox One that this dream was getting closer to being fulfilled.
I would drive my car on the track using the in-car perspective and enjoy the turns and the connected feeling. I just knew that I had to get to California to make this happen.
With hard work and determination, I had the opportunity to intern in San Francisco and I was really excited to book a track day at my favorite track.
After an exciting road trip driving across the country and exploring San Francisco, I was counting down the days to drive on the track.
I researched a lot of the track day preparations that need to be made. I installed a set of new brake pads and racing brake fluid.
The day finally arrived and it was as amazing as I imagined. Arriving early morning and meeting fellow passionate car enthusiasts made me ecstatic. I was paired with a fellow BRZ owner in the beginner class and learned car control techniques first.
Here are some pictures of me enjoying the track:
The first drive on the track was phenomenal, it was great to mix with reality from the TV to the real experience. I was especially excited for the Corkscrew, a challenging turn with a drop as shown below:
Over the course of the day, I drove on the track numerous times and I was content by the end with a happy grin as I left the track.
Here is a video highlighting my day:
