Ferrari at Laguna Seca august 9th & 10th?

Found a little info...was planning on posting a thread later but you beat me to it

http://www.ferrarichallenge.com/challenge/index.cfm?cid=4264

Which day is better to attend, saturday or sunday? I heard FXX cars will be at this Challenge Race? I noticed at the F. Chal. @ infineon, sunday seemed to be the day, a much larger showing of street ferraris in the corral. Who's planning on attending?

Thanks,
Brian

 

Ill be there on Sunday

 

If anyone wants to talk about turbocharging their exotic, James Patterson of Norwood Performance will be there. =^)

 

I'm probably going to drive down from Marin on Sunday. Anyone interesting in doing a convoy from North Bay?

 

Shoot, out of town that weekend.

 

hahaha. WHY do you always beat me to these threads!?!? lol I will be attending. Yes, the FXXs will be getting some track time logged in and so will some Ferrari F-1 cars. I don't know what day I'll be there but I WILL be there one of the two days. Hope to see you there Brian!

P.S. Let me know if you need more info. PM me here or on YouTube.

 

I'll be going. This is a Ferrari Challenge race, so FOSV may be doing another caravan from their dealer. Let's look into that.

 

No need to worry about it. They are supposed to more than likely stay around for the Historics the following weekend.

 

Is this something a non-owner could come to, and watch from the stands?

 

I'm pretty sure you can drive right in and watch for free.

 

Anyone is welcome to come to these events. Went to Infineon when it was there a couple months ago. Lots of fun. No restrictions to the garages. My Avatar is from that day.

Actually that is not the case. It is very reasonable though. Infineon was a just pull up to the gate, Sign a waiver (not sure why), pull in and park, enjoy your day.

 

I was at Infineon as well. That was a GREAT day!!!

 

+1,000!

 

I was planning on going to this event, but I have been committed to other plans for the weekend. However the following weekend (Thurs-Sun.) are all in Monterey.

 

lol. Thanks Brian!!! I can't find any more info on the Laguna Seca Ferrari Challenge. (that's why I'm on this thread) Have you heard anything like ticket prices? I still can't find anything on the Laguna-Seca website.
Thanks,

Not sure, If I remember correctly Infineon was $20? Whatever, who cares, if it's a couple hundred bucks it's still worth it

Anyone interested in a caravan to Monterey from East Bay or South Bay?

 

I e-mailed Laguna Seca and asked them for more information about the event. This was the response:

"This event is just a track rental. However, I do know you are free to come to the track and be a spectator, but the paddock will be closed. The Monterey County Parks Recreation Dept. may charge a parking fee."

It wasn't very clear, but I thought it would help.

The Ferrari Challenge, FXX, and Corse Client F1 cars are "sharing" the track this weekend with the cars participating in the "Pre-Historics".
This event is put on by the same people who do the Monterey Historics, (General Racing,Ltd) and is sanctioned by H.M.S.A.

So is the event free, like they told me?

 

That's what I don't know.
In the past, entrance to the Pre-Historics has been free. But It may be different now that the Ferrari events have been added.
I'll try to find out in the next day or two.

Great, thanks!
