The story behind the line
Built for racing.
Remembered for its hills.
Laguna Seca opened in 1957, following the end of the nearby Pebble Beach Road Races. Local businesses and individuals helped fund a permanent course on land at Fort Ord, giving the Monterey Peninsula’s racing community a new home.
Pete Lovely won the first race on 9 November 1957 in a Ferrari. The decades that followed brought sports cars, single-seaters and motorcycles, from Can-Am and IndyCar to IMSA and MotoGP.
In 1988, a new infield section extended the original 1.9-mile course to today’s 2.238-mile, 11-turn layout. That full circuit is the outline shown in this print.

The corner everyone remembers
The Corkscrew.
More than a line on a map.
Turns 8 and 8A form the Corkscrew: a left-right combination with a descent that a flat outline can only suggest. Between entry and exit, the circuit falls 59 feet in just 450 feet of track.
It also holds one of Laguna Seca’s defining racing memories. On the final lap of the 1996 CART race, Alex Zanardi passed Bryan Herta at the Corkscrew to take the win.
For a spectator, a track-day driver or someone who first discovered it in a racing simulator, that sequence gives this circuit an unusually personal place in the memory.
