It was inaugurated in 1957, resulting from an initiative lead by a private association of car racing enthusiasts known as SCRAMP (Sports Car Racing Association of the Monterrey Peninsula). Over its six decades in operation, it has hosted both auto and motorcycle racing competitions, including high-profile events such as the United States MotoGP Grand Prix, the American Le Mans Series, or the IndyCar Series.

The Laguna Seca track consists of 11 turns, 4 to the right and 7 to the left, with counterclockwise orientation and a total length of 2.238 mi (3.602 km). Its signature feature is The Corkscrew, a 130-meters downward slope that creates an abrupt elevation change of 33 meters combined with a super-challenging left-right curve combo where many things can go wrong for inexperienced drivers. Motorists from all over the world agree that racing through The Corkscrew is a whole one-in-a-lifetime experience in and on itself, reason enough to make the name Laguna Seca resonate in the minds of aspiring and expert drivers alike.
