Motogp - Laguna Seca circuit race track is asphalt used for racing cars and motorcycles. Founded in 1957 near the city of Salinas and Monterey, California United States. To replace the Pebble Beach Road Races that are considered too dangerous to race.

Its construction is spent 1.5 million U.S. Dollars collected from local businesses and individuals who are members of the U.S. Army's Fort Ord. Laguna Seca is currently managed by the Department of State Monterey Landscaping.

Laguna Seca has a length of 3610 meters that has a different elevation. With a straight line along the 966-meter and 11 corners, including the "Corkscrew" her famous.

None of the MotoGP riders who can dominate the first podium of this circuit. Start from Casey Stoner, Valentino Rossi, Dani Pedrosa, Jorge Lorenzo alternately to become champions in the years 2007-2010. Only Nicky Hayden managed to master this track two years in a row, ie in 2005-2006.

Despite the recent turn Laguna Seca Corkscrew has been modified. But the track is still challenging for the MotoGP iron horse. Motor must be set to turn quickly. However, it must remain stable at low speed corners.

Even the drivers must be familiar with a hard breaking during the race. Because in some corners can only be bypassed with a maximum speed of 50 miles per hour. Especially in the last corner before the straight. Obviously the motor with the greatest power does not guarantee victory here.
