ALMS Confirms 2013 schedule change
The American Le Mans Series presented by Tequila Patr¢n has confirmed a date change for its 2013 race at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca in Monterey, Calif. The new date – Saturday, May 11 – reflects a change from the previously announced May 18 date, which conflicts with the Nürburgring 24 Hours.
The American Le Mans Series Monterey presented by Patr¢n at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, which has been a fixture on the ALMS schedule for each of the Series’ 14 seasons, is a four-hour enduro run over the track’s 2.238-mile, 11-turn circuit.
