Laguna Seca
Navigate the infamous Corkscrew on this dusty, undulating Californian circuit.
Track Intelligence
Built in 1957, WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca is defined by its dramatic 5.5-story drop at the Corkscrew (Turns 8 and 8A). The track demands excellent trail-braking technique and a highly stable rear end to manage the constant, sweeping elevation changes. Because it is situated in a desert-like environment, drivers must constantly battle the ever-present sand blown onto the tarmac, which drastically reduces grip offline.
To set a competitive lap, one must carefully manage track limits and focus heavily on maintaining momentum. The sweeping, high-speed Turn 6 and the heavily cambered Turn 9 require total commitment, punishing any hesitation with severe understeer that will pull the car directly into the harsh, dusty run-off areas.
