IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT Due to the number of registrations for this series we will be splitting into two grids for the rest of the sesaon. All drivers have been allocated to either Works or Privateers. If you don’t know check the link for Driver Lists below. If you have not already voted to join the Privateers championship you will need to do so to see the password. Laguna Seca is a paved road racing track in central California used for both auto racing and motorcycle racing, built in 1957 near both Salinas and Monterey, California, United States. The racetrack is 2.238 miles (3.602 km) long, with a 180 feet (55 m) elevation change. Its eleven turns are highlighted by the circuit's signature turn, the downhill-plunging "Corkscrew" at Turns 8 and 8A. A variety of racing, exhibition, and entertainment events are held at the raceway, ranging from superkarts to sports car racing to music festivals. The name Laguna Seca is Spanish for "dry lagoon": the area where the track now lies was once a lake, and the course was built around the dry lake bed.

In my opinion is also bad luck.

In my opinion is also bad luck. Same troubles for me. I broke my engine after 29-30 laps, then stop and go, and again black smoke from the Maserati V12 after 39 laps. I could finish the race followed by a deep black smoke. A very frustrating race for me, I was 5th on the starting grid, then 4th when Andreas went out of the track on the Esses. On 2nd lap, I spun at the exit of the Corkscrew and became 6th. Then it was during 25 laps, one of my best ever race : I overtook 5 cars (often because they spun or had troubles) and I ran in first position from (around) lap 23 to lap 27 ...when it became one of my worst ever race : I spun again and broke my engine 2 laps later. After the S'n'G, I broke again the engine to finish only 6th.
