The Monterey Peninsula’s love affair with world-class racing traces its beginnings to the inaugural running of the Pebble Beach Road Races in 1950. Those sports car events quickly outgrew the public roads of the Del Monte Forest and a beautiful new road racing facility was born on November 9, 1957 at a cost of $1.5 million. The track has hosted USRRC, Can-Am, Trans-Am, Formula 5000, IMSA GT, Champ Car, American Le Mans Series, Grand-Am, Forza Sports Car Series, Superbike World Championship and MotoGP motorcycle races and the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion.The track itself has undergone significant changes over the past two decades to meet evolving safety homologation requirements of the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM), Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) and other sanctioning bodies. Changes include the addition of the entire infield area in 1988 (present day turns 3, 4 and 5, eliminating the straight that started at present day Turn 2 and ended at present day Turn 5) extending the track from its original 1.9-mile length to its current 2.238-mile length, plus the relocation of pedestrian bridges and embankments, and the expansion of gravel pits for additional runoff. Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca is an 11-turn, 2.238-mile jewel of a road course is a favorite of racers and fans worldwide, many focus on one specific section—officially Turns 8 and 8A—or more commonly known as The Corkscrew. The Corkscrew is a one-of-a-kind turn in motorsports.At the apex to Turn 8 (the lefthander and entry to The Corkscrew), the elevation change is a 12 percent drop. By the time a race car reaches the apex of Turn 8A (the righthander), the elevation is at its steepest – an 18 percent drop. The Corkscrew drops 59 feet between the entrance of Turn 8 to the exit of Turn 8A—the equivalent of a 5½ story drop—in only 450 feet of track length. From Turn 8 to Turn 9, the elevation falls 109 feet, or just over 10 stories.

I will shocked if I get a podium to be honest, this track is not my best track but I do like the track.

looking forward to see if I can manage as good of a result (hopefully better) on a track I admit I am strongest at.

This track is easily one of my most favorite tracks. Too bad I gotta prereace :/

With almost two tons of metal and moving parts, at over 6 ft. wide and 16 ft. long, this beautiful Caddy is very hard to pass on a narrow race track.....just saying.

Thats a huge plus! For me at least I haven't seen much lag from you compared to say season 6 or 7 and in the last season I didn't see much from you at all. Let's not forget that in Season 6 a F50 won this race

Not that it matters really but we didn't race here last season

I'm not sure how accurate that 33 second lap is for this season. I know the caddy isn't too fond of this track but it is moving a lot faster than that...

Rancid poopy movers:)

It was season 7.

How much faster are we talking Dr.? My gt500 isn't much faster than 33.

The first qualifier has broken the ice for Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. The times will slowly begin to trickle in.

Not sure where I'll be by Sunday. I haven't tested since Tuesday, I had to go out of town and won't be back until Sunday to qualify. But Tuesday morning I was running in the 1:3x.secret range.

Looks to be a good race

I guess I will be bringing up the rear! The gt500 won't run that fast because this driver isn't that fast.

Roscoe I know the caddy is quick but somebody has to represent the Mustangs. Plus it's the only car i can jump in and run what I was thinking was a good number . I'm not like a zombie I'm like a ghost. I can appear and then disappear.

I would drive a mustang if i hadnt fallen for the porsche lol

I might not be able to race on Sunday

I have tons of work to do for next week, so it depends on whether I can get it done to whether I can race or not.

If you really want to get the points i can set you up with a prerace room at a time that fits you best. but youll need a pic and stuff.

I will be pre racing both the ST and GT races. I do not have some of the cars however due to the fact that my disc 2 data won't load and I don't have that disc, but I will make sure the field is full with competitive cars, even if I have to use 2 of the same car.

I need 2 qual... is anyone on ?
