This incredible POV video lasts just over 2 minutes but puts you behind the wheel of 20 iconic Porsche race cars over a span of 62 years through a lap around the Mazda Laguna Seca Raceway.

The video starts off with a driver walking over to an early four cylinder 550 Coupe race car, turning it on and setting off. Between every four or five seconds, the car changes and you run through an amazing number of iconic Porsche race cars. Hear the cars get louder, the number of cylinders change from four to six, and back to four as the years flash by. As the sound progresses, you’ll notice the more complicated interiors as well. The sounds are incredible, and you’ll want to hear this with headphones.
