Sonoma Laguna Seca

Sonoma Laguna Seca

Last summer Northern California was treated to TWO World Challenge sports car races on TWO different tracks as the popular series not only had a race at Sonoma Raceway on Sept. 16 – 18 during the Indy Grand Prix weekend, but then they came to Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca on October 7 – 9 for the Road to Indy Grand Prix! A double dose of some of the best sports car racing in the country!

You have to love “media days” at the track! When the Pirelli World Challenge people asked if we wanted to do a ride along in one of the series race cars, we couldn’t say “YES!” fast enough!
