Start your engines and race to the American Le Mans Series

Short of taking a trip to France, the best way to see the high-speed, high-tech Le Mans Prototypes and GT cars of the American Le Mans Series, patterned after the famed 24 hours of Le Mans, is in this four-hour endurance challenge at Laguna Seca Raceway, October 17- 19. The Saturday afternoon race into the darkness race concludes the Laguna Seca season with Le Mans Prototypes from Audi, Porsche, Mazda, Acura, Dodge and Ford battling on the same track with production-based GT cars from Corvette, Porsche, Ferrari and Panoz. Laguna Seca is a quick (within the speed limits!) drive from Monterey.
