The 2nd annual Sonoma Speed Festival has been rescheduled for September 4-6, 2020. This decision has not been made lightly; the safety of our guests, partners, staff and drivers remains our highest priority. We can’t wait to share the Labor Day weekend with you at Sonoma Raceway!
A look at the McLaren F1 GTR Longtail. A total of ten GTRs were built, with none of the previous cars being upgraded to the 1997-spec. The 1997-spec cars are commonly referred to as the "Long Tail" version due to their stretched bodywork, most noticeably at the rear.
Very sad news reading reports of Niki Lauda’s passing.
A fighter, a legend and survivor, as well as an inspiration to anyone who’s faced life’s most difficult extremes.
Thoughts go out to the entire
@MercedesAMGF1
family at this time.
RIP
1949-2019
