Laguna Seca

  • 2016 Global MX-5 Cup

    Back in 2001 Mazda teamed up with a wonderful sliver of tarmac located in Monterey, California called Laguna Seca. The result of this sponsorship became Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. That's still the name, but only for another few months. Why? Because Mazda has decided not to renew its naming rights deal with the famed racing circuit. The official last day for the naming rights is March 31, 2018. After that day, the 2.2-mile circuit will revert back to simply being called Laguna Seca. Must of us call it that anyway, but the Mazda name has been plastered all over the track since 2001. This is a...

    2013 BMW M5 & M6: On Track At Laguna Seca

    BMW has caught a lot of flack for its latest generations of M Division cars, including the soon-to-be-replaced M3. People calling themselves purists deride them as heavy, soft, too luxurious, and unfocused. One thing they rarely call them, however, is slow. That's because, wherever you stand on...

  • The 1975 BMW 3.0 CSL, to be driven by BMW NA CEO Ludwig Willisch

    When we say “company president and CEO,” what kind of suit comes to mind? Chances are it’s made of wool, tailored for a precise fit and best worn with a carefully-knotted silk tie and shiny shoes. While BMW’s North American president and CEO, Ludwig Willisch, wears that kind of suit to the office during the week, he’s not averse to donning a fire-resistant Nomex suit on the weekend, particularly when doing so allows him to drive a 1975 BMW 3.0 CSL racer at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. Willisch will pilot the car, one of five campaigned by BMW during the 1975 and...
