I hope so! As far as I'm concerned, they can take Indy off the schedule and put Laguna Seca and Road America on instead.

They need to build garages at both Laguna Seca and RA for it to ever be a possibility. Now that they have made Laguna Seca safe for the MotoGP race, maybe it will be a possibility? Miller Motorsports Park seems like a good choice too.

Think of how fast it would've been with this car and the V10's.

Did anyone happen to notice how much Zonta's head was moving around in the cockpit? It seems bumpy as hell even though they just repaved the whole track.

That's 16 seconds faster than Nicky Hayden's Moto GP motorcycle time. Downforce and lots of rubber, cool stuff!

Thanks again, great stuff! Lots of curbing that didn't use to be there and no more bridge leading up to the corkscrew. Looking forward to the fall / winter dates at LS to see the new track up close.

The track looked very smooth until you watched the video. I was just amazed watching the video at how fast he can do the downhill section starting at the corkscrew.

I had not been to Laguna in years, and was amazed at the run off area on the various corners. This is a lot safer track to drive now than it was even in the late 80s.
