Do not miss

You will want to see the 2007 Toyota Race of Legends on Saturday at 12:05PM. Bobby Rahal, Emerson Fittipaldi and eight other legends will race in Scion tCs.

Toyota will have a special-feature garage "Forces of Change" in a central location of the paddock to present performance technology of the past and future. Toyota will also have a large exhibit in what is called the Expo area Featured will be a car corral for Toyota, Scion and Lexus customers, as well as a 2000GT collection.

On Thursday 16 from 3:30-5:00PM, Toyota will conduct a technology forum, "Evolution to Revolution" (see page 4), at which five experts will discuss racing technology of the past and future, moderated by famous Speed TV journalist Dave Despain. The forum takes place at the Laguna Seca Red Bull Energy Center, across the track from the paddock area. Invitations are not required, however an "RSVP" call to 310) 755-7410 would be appreciated.

For a true Laguna Seca experience, we highly recommend you spend some time at the renowned corkscrew corner at the top of the main hill. A Toyota golf cart can take you there and there is a Toyota grandstand at the site.
