What will GM be testing at Laguna Seca?
 

It seems GM is renting LS for 3 days, March 14-16. From what I have read, this has not been done by GM before. Anybody live nearby? Will they be testing a Z28, new Vette?:noidea:

Likely the new big aero Corvette to beat the ACR's record lap time. Hopefully there will be plenty of people with cameras to get pictures and video.

Interesting. Whatever car they are testing it won't have much camo on it if they are going for record lap times.

Might be giving the press a crack at the ZL1 1LE.

If you think GM wants to test something.....you are to late. It has already been done when no one was watching.
If they are using the track it would be to showcase all the nice goodies they sell now to all the magazines.

Somebody has been real salty towards GM lately. ZL 1LE not up your alley...we get it.

Some of you may remember I got to see the pre-production 1LE out at LS last year when MT was there thanks to a buddy that has some good connections at the track. I'm not out there anymore but I have already talked to him about trying to get a peek at what GM is up to come the 14-16th, I will let you guys know if he gets a look at anything. My guess would be ZL1 1LE and maybe ZR1 prototypes.

I'll play....GT4....and ZL1 1LE...

My kid lives in Monterey...I'll ask him to slip over there if he gets a chance...

Someone get their drone over there ...

You don't even need to be sneaky about it haha the track is part of the Lagua Recreational Park, it's open to the public 24/7, all you need to do is drive up and park at the top of the hill and set up a camera overlooking the track. Easy as pie!

It's probably a press event for a 2018 Corvette something or other. No Z/28 this month because the ZL1 1LE was just announced.

The mid-engine Zora.

Actually, no need to stop at the hill. Go sit in the stands at the finish line or stand in the elevated Mazda tower. Always open.

I am with the crowd saying its a media event.

They are not likely going to beat the ACR if that was the objective. I think that record was set before the ridiculous county imposed sound limit of 90-92db. I got black flagged on turn 5 without even stepping into it. I can't see the ZL1 getting close. You need all the power it will give you heading up the hill to turn 6. From what I read, permits for exceeding sound are not easy to obtain which is why some racing venues went elsewhere. Pardon for the tangent.

So, today's the day. Anyone been by to see what's going on?
