This event will be limited to a total of 3 groups of 35 cars each. Advanced Group will have open passing rules and Intermediate and Novice Groups will have restricted passing rules.
The groups will be classified as follows:
____________________________________________________________________________________
Novice Group
You must have a minimum of 1 track day or equivalent previous experience. This group is intended for less experienced/skilled drivers. Passing without a point-by will be allowed on the long straights only. Passing in turns will be allowed with a point-by.
____________________________________________________________________________________
Intermediate Group
You must have a minimum of 8 track days previous experience or equivalent. Passing without a point-by will be allowed on the long straights and some of the short straights. Passing in turns will be allowed with a point-by.
____________________________________________________________________________________
Advanced Group
You must have a minimum of 18 track days experience or equivalent . Passing without a point-by will be allowed everywhere except through the corkscrew.
Due to the Coronavirus, there will be no Beginner Group at this event since this would require us to put a coach in your passenger seat. However, if you are a Beginner (zero track days experience) and would like to join, and you can find a qualified (GGLC-approved) coach from within your own family, then you may join by contacting the GGLC and we will add you to the Novice Group. Note, there will still only be 3-4 Beginner slots available.
Laguna Seca enforces a strict sound limit of 92 db for this event

For drivers experiencing mechanical failures that result in dropping oil on the track, damage to track property such as broken brake markers, etc., and deployment of the fire truck which results in any additional charges to us for clean-up, repair to track property, etc., we will consider whether to pass on these additional costs to the responsible driver on a case-by-case basis.
Open top cars MUST have a roll bar that attaches at four locations on the body/chassis. Decorative, or "Style Bars" are not allowed. Factory installed roll-over protection including pop-up bars are allowed. Drivers of open top cars must wear eye protection.
