Track Facts

1

The Corkscrew (Turns 8 and 8A) is one of the most famous corners in motorsport — a near-blind left-right combination with an elevation drop of roughly 59 feet (18 meters).

2

Built on land used by Fort Ord, a U.S. Army post, the circuit takes its name from the dry lake (laguna seca means "dry lake" in Spanish) that sits nearby.

3

The track has no permanent lighting, meaning all racing finishes before dark.

4

The sound of the circuit is legendary — the natural amphitheater formed by the surrounding hills traps engine noise and creates an extraordinary spectator experience.

5

Monterey Car Week, held in August each year, brings over $400 million in economic impact to the region and turns the area into a global motorsport hub.
