WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca (previously known in-game as Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca before Formula 1® and McLaren 765LT Update (v9.1)) is a paved road racing track in central California used for both auto racing and motorcycle racing, built in 1957 near both Salinas and Monterey, California, United States.
The name Laguna Seca is Spanish for "dry lagoon": the area where the track now lies was once a lake, and the course was built around the dry lake bed. After the course was reconfigured, two artificial ponds were added.

- Until the introduction of Formula 1® in update 8.0, this track was used during the tutorial before the start of the game where players use a PORSCHE 911 GT3 RS for a one-lap race. The track would return once again for the tutorial race beginning with Season 2, Round 1; only this time with the 992 GT3, as a call-back to the original introductory scene of the game.
