Firestone Grand Prix
2022-09-09 - 2022-09-11 | Weather Tech Laguna Seca Raceway, 1021 Monterey Salinas Highway, Salinas, CA, United States
This time at Laguna Seca it is the Indy cars. Not only these great machines and drivers, but it is the end of the Indy race season and this is the final competition. That means the winner of this year’s series will be “crowned” if that’s the right term for someone wearing a substantial helmet already. Lots of speed and maneuvering through the twists and curves of the track. Not like Indy where they just go left all the time.
