WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca Art Print: The Temple of the Corkscrew
 
Established in 1957 on the arid grounds of a former military maneuver area (Fort Ord), Laguna Seca was conceived by local enthusiasts to replace the perilous Pebble Beach road races. This 2.238-mile permanent road course in Monterey, California, is a masterpiece of topographic engineering, defined by its 180-foot elevation change and the world-renowned "Corkscrew" (Turns 8 and 8A)—a blind, five-story plunging left-right complex that remains one of the most daunting technical challenges in global motorsport.
 
Historically known to aficionados as "Laguna," the circuit is synonymous with the golden era of Can-Am and the legendary exploits of Jim Hall’s Chaparrals. A defining moment in its lineage occurred in 1996, when Alex Zanardi’s audacious "The Pass" in the Corkscrew cemented the track's status in open-wheel lore. In 2026, the facility remains a premier theater for the NTT IndyCar Series (Firestone Grand Prix of Monterey) and the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. As the permanent home of the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion, it serves as a living museum, where the mechanical heritage of the 20th century meets the precision of modern aerodynamic warfare.
