This is the greatest race track in the best area of California! A must visit location. The world famous “ Corkscrew “ is a great place to watch from. The paddock access is also great being so close to all the teams.

The a gorgeous track with incredible views. You can see most of the track from numerous vantage points. Some of paths up the hill are dusty and it is easy to slip. Would like to see the track pave these and create steps. Also bathrooms could use modernizing. Speaker system is good and you can generally hear the announcers.

Staff in our chalet was terrific. Food was OK. Location has a good view. Lots of restrooms close by as well. Could use fans or portable AC as it can get very hot. Overall facility is very nice. Good venue to watch a race

Loved everything about LaGuna Seca outside of the fact that they need to get a ride share lot on the premises for events. Trying to get a Lyft or Uber in to pick you up proved to be quite difficult as there is no designated spot and the venue is very large. We were able to get it done a couple times but both were an adventure!

Motorsport is my favourite sport, so when I happen to be near a circuit I like to visit it. And how couldn’t I visit Laguna Seca, with its legendary Corkscrew? It’s possible to walk on the whole perimeter of the circuit. A little tip for future visitors: this area is very hot, so bring water with you and wear a hat!

I am finally getting around to all the tracks I have been to over the last few years. So apologies for not writing earlier. This is such a famous and fun track. The proximity to Monterey coast line just makes it that much better. I have been to this track many, many times over the last 3 years. It is a challenging track but my Boxster S loves it. Traffic in and out of the track can be a bit difficult depending on the beach traffic but still well worth it. They do have a campsite but I have never availed myself of that option. Instead I stay in Monterey or some of the surrounding cities and enjoy the ocean.

Supervised track days are available with serious instructional programs, but even the local public has a few chances a year to take laps around the track after contributing to a charity, which today was the Santa Cruz Symphony. After a brief instructional meeting, cars are grouped behind a guide car and negotiate the track at modest speeds, but you soon learn that driving this track is more difficult than it looks!

Practical advice for visitors = Highway 68 entrance has better access to areas, compared to rear entrance on Reservation Road towards Marina. Book any camping well in advance, as it sells out. food services are reasonable, but picnics are welcome. Some premier parking areas sell out long in advance. General parking is in the sandy areas on the side of the hills, and motorcycles frequently fall over, and there is not ground clearance for exotic cars. Without special parking, drive something old that will not mind a thick coating of dust. WEAR GOOD WALKING SHOES, as you will trek for miles a day. Dress in layers for the famous fog.

Living nearby, my family took me to the first car race in 1958, and I have gone most every year since to some event. The facility was donated by the US Army to a local charity group, who have sucked out almost one billion dollars for local charities, but the facility has not kept pace with world standards, and those important events can no longer be held at this venue, for safety and marketing reasons. All things go full circle with time, and now the track hosts more local events. This is nice for local people, but the days of big crowds that bring big dollars to the charities are gone. Biggest event is now the mid- August historic car demonstration races.

Staying in nearby Monterey and hubby had to see this place in the flesh. As a speedway and race fan it's a must. We arrived a Saturday morning just as classic cars were leaving. Allowed to park up and walk the track . Got as far as the famous corkscrew bend. Took a lot of pictures. He showed me you tube footage so I could share in his excitement.

Great experience to watch races at this fantastic racetrack, good action at legendary corkscrew for both motorcycles and cars. If you get a chance join for a track walk, elevation change is crazy. Would love to come here for a motorcycle track day
