Laguna Seca ALMS race 12-13 May 2012

The race was not quite as Formula 1, but worth it. The track is very accessible - you can walk around if six hours of concentration on the race feels overwhelming. Besides, you can view the race and take pictures from virtually every location around the track. 


The BMW corral was very well organized, placed near turn five. There were many vendors, booths of VW, McLaren, Chevy, Cadillac, etc., but unfortunately, BMW wasn’t present. 


I would highly recommend the event for race aficionados who do not want to travel far or pay a pile of money for a real race experience. The cost of the ticket was $50 per person plus $15 corral pass per car. Compare this to the typical $500 and up for an F1 race and the experience feels even better.
