Fans asked to invade Mazda Raceway podium

Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca and the American Le Mans Series announced a “Track Invasion" for the Winners’ Circle at the podium ceremony for this year’s Monterey Sports Car Championships presented by Patr¢n. All spectators will be invited to invade the track Winners’ Circle ceremonies and enjoy the traditional champagne shower.

And to improve the quality of the on-track racing, this past spring Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca increased the paved run-off areas in Turns 2 and 11 on drivers’ right and gave it a full workout in May during a sports car race. The result was a drastic reduction of full-course yellows.

The Track Invasion and race-track improvements will greatly enhance the fan experience at this year’s event.

The American Le Mans Series offers unprecedented access and opportunities to race fans attending the race as they can experience first hand the energy in the paddock, pre-grid action and experience the celebratory spraying of the champagne at the podium ceremony. Fans will be able to see what goes on inside the pits and garages up close and personal, and the drivers will be meeting fans and signing autographs throughout the weekend.
