The "Dry Lagoon" (the English translation of the Laguna Seca name) has been around for 55 years and played a central role in American motorsport culture. Let's take a look at how a BMW 1M Coupe handles the famous track.
The 1M is perfect for such a raceway. The agility shown on the public roads is also displayed on the Laguna Seca and the car's throttle response along with the perfect handling make it a perfect choice for both track days and everyday use.

The one we're looking at is stock with PSS road tires that behaved admirably on the track. The fact that this 1M wasn't properly prepared for a race day and the driver was able to take it round the track, have a lot of fun and then drive home in the same car stands as testimony for what an amazing piece of engineering this Coupe really is.
