So what am I doing October 22-24? I’m definitely going to the Global Tuner Grand Prix at Laguna Seca. And what is the Global Tuner Grand Prix (GTGP) you ask? Well….just about one of the coolest ideas ever.

Europe has the Tuner Grand Prix, Asia has the Super Lap Battle and now the Laguna Seca has the Global Tuner Grand Prix. Europe’s Tuner Grand Prix attracts mostly European cars with a few Japanese and American entries here and there and is held in Germany. The Super Lap Battle events are held in the US, but only Japanese cars are allowed. The new GTGP however is open to all Import, European and Domestic vehicles separated into 3 classes which include Street, Tuner and Unlimited. Each of the 3 classes are bracketed into 3 categories that include FWD, RWD and AWD. So, basically all are welcome.

The event will involve time trials where the fastest lap in each category and class wins. The event will also include the GTGP Challenge Race which will consist of a 50 minute wheel to wheel race featuring some of the fastest GT race cars in the world.

With ticket prices at $35 for the entire weekend, this is a no brainer.
