DROC at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca

Laguna Seca is the bucket-list one. DROC has ridden Ducati Day there twice, in 2023 and 2025, on a Ducati-only track day open to riders of all levels.

Layout of WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca, drawn by Ducati Riders of Orange County from OpenStreetMap geometry, with the corner names labelled.

Eleven turns over 2.238 miles. The Corkscrew is officially Turns 8 and 8A: it drops 59 feet in 450 feet of track, and the road keeps falling to Turn 9, which sits 109 feet below Turn 8. The numbering is the raceway’s own, pinned by the three corners OpenStreetMap names, Andretti Hairpin 2, the Corkscrew 8 and Rainey Curve 9, and the eleven corners in the geometry match the eleven they publish. Their turn-by-turn racing-lines flyer describes each one. Layout drawn by DROC from OpenStreetMap data, © OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL. This drawing is © Ducati Riders of Orange County.

It is the Corkscrew, obviously, but the rest of the circuit earns its reputation too: blind crests, real elevation change, and a front straight that arrives faster than you expect.

What a day here looks like

  • Ducati Day is organized by Ducati rather than by DROC, so entry goes through their process. We ride up together.
  • The 2025 edition put MotoAmerica racers and Ducati athletes on track alongside participants, including Jake Zemke, PJ Jacobsen, Kayla Yaakov and Cameron Petersen.
  • Monterey is a long way from Orange County. Treat it as a weekend, not a day.

Getting ready

Bike prep, gear, and what to pack are all on the track days page. If this would be your first time on track, read that first: none of it is hard, but arriving without a working transponder mount or taped mirrors wastes your morning.
