Optima’s Ultimate Street Car series heads to Laguna Seca for the third battle of the season!
When someone pulls into Weathertech Raceway Laguna Seca and sees the grid for Optima’s Ultimate Street Car series, presented by Advance Auto Parts, it must lead to some head-scratching. The requisite Camaros, Corvettes and Mustangs are all there, but there’s also a Nissan GT-R, a ’55 T-bird, a gaggle of Tesla s, a ’71 MG, an Acadian station wagon, a Pontiac Vibe, and even a few pickup trucks and SUVs.
Weather did play a factor on this weekend, as torrential rain showed up on Saturday afternoon, scrapping the afternoon autocross session and practice on the big track.The track was still wet Sunday morning, but it dried quickly in the first session, allowing competitors who might normally only make one or two flying laps to see their fastest times later in the session. The downside is that tires get heated up, and EVs lose power as their state of charge decreases.
