One stop that’s on each competitors “must drive” schedule in the
American Le Mans Series is Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. For six
demanding hours, drivers and crews will be put to the test on the
2.238-mile, 11-turn course that thrills drivers, but also demands
their respect.
The race begins in bright sunshine, but darkens each passing hour
to end in darkness. An explosion of fireworks greets the winning
driver as the checkered flag waives them across the finish
line.
There are very few places where racing fans can go to witness the
melodic sounds of Ferrari racing cars, such as the race-equipped
F430 and F458, and the track-honed 599XX, FXX and Formula 1 at
full throttle. This May, Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca will provide
that rare experience for fans of the Italian coachbuilder and car
lovers alike.
At 860 horsepower, the Ferrari FXX is a mean, yet sleek drivable
race car that is capable of sprinting from 0-62 mph in just 2.7
seconds and a top speed of 249 mph.
The Ferrari F1 Clienti program is the pinnacle of
recently-retired Ferrari Formula 1 cars. Here’s where the revs
jump to ear-plugs-necessary levels. An F1 car can accelerate from
0-62 mph in under two seconds and decelerate even faster. Ferrari
plans a full grid of these exceptional single-seat former F1
cars.
The Red Bull U.S. Grand Prix featuring the MotoGP World
Championship returns to Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca for its eighth
consecutive year in 2012.
MotoGP is the premier motorcycle racing World Championship; an
eighteen-race series visiting fourteen countries, four continents
and with global television coverage. Nine nationalities of the
world’s most skilled riders line a grid armed with cutting edge
motorcycle technology with prototype machinery fielded by three
manufacturers; Ducati, Yamaha and Honda.
More than 2.2 million people came through the gates of the
circuits to watch MotoGP in 2011.
The Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion is a cornerstone of
Monterey Peninsula’s Classic Car Week. The 2012 event’s featured
marque is the iconic Shelby Cobra. Only around 550 vehicles will
be accepted, based on the car’s authenticity, race provenance and
period correctness. Nearly every decade of motorsports history
will be represented in what is described as a museum springing to
life.
The Continental Tire Sports Car Festival, powered by MAZDA6, will
feature competition in the Daytona Prototype class, and the Grand
Touring (GT) category. Grand-Am racing events typically
feature some of the most exciting competition in all of racing,
with drivers bumping and barging their way past each other in the
race to the checkered flag. The race weekend will include
autograph and meet-and-greet sessions with the drivers, including
TV and movie heartthrob Patrick Dempsey, who competes in the GT
class.
