Though the original Laguna Seca Raceway was built in 1957, the local people’s love affair with world-class racing began long before that. Today, the 11-turn, 2.238-mile track right beside California’s stunning central coast is one of the most visited places in Salinas. The WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca is a favorite with racers and fans worldwide and is renowned for Turns 8 and 8A, popularly known as The Corkscrew. The hard-left, hard-right combination is spectacular mostly because of its 59-feet drop from the entrance of the first turn to the exit of the second; that’s a 5½ story drop in only 450 feet of track length.
