Legendary circuit, Laguna Seca (now officially known as the WeatherTech Raceway) was home to some of the most epic battles in racing history.

Most notably is the battle between Casey Stoner and Valentino Rossi during the 2008 MotoGP season.

Despite the legendary status, time have not been too kind to the famed circuit especially since the track has not received a refresh since 2007.

However, Laguna Seca finally getting some good news it deserved as track management has secured an initial funding to revitalized the track and amenities.

Major repairs to include replacing the crumbling bridge at the start/finish line. The brige has fallen into despair, posing a potential hazard for spectators and racers alike.

Next is to resurface the California circuit which currently displays cracks, bumps and numerous imperfections that could have severe implications towards racers.

Nevertheless, the resurfacing itself won’t come cheap, as approximately a total of USD5 million is needed.

According to reports, the total cost of repair is said to be somewhere around USD60 million mark.

Looking at how things are moving, we certainly hope Laguna Seca will someday return to the GP race calendar so we can witness more iconic battles.
