The Petersen Automotive Museum and WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca have announced a new partnership that will bring the two institutions together to amplify their impact in the automotive and motorsports industries.

The Petersen Automotive Museum, recognised as one of the world’s top automotive museums, and WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca, which has hosted legendary racing events on its Monterey circuit since 1957, will work together to further their shared mission of preserving automotive history and engaging the public.

“There is nothing like seeing cars in their element on the road and track,”

The museum will partner with the raceway on specific events, including the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion and NTT INDYCAR SERIES season finale, to expand the event’s reach and impact, host member events and provide cars for display. In addition, the museum will incorporate Laguna Seca into museum- organised rallies, tours and special events.

“While our exhibits and displays are among the best in the world, there is nothing like seeing cars in their element on the road and track,” said Terry L. Karges, executive director for the Petersen Automotive Museum. “Working with Laguna Seca is the ideal

way to bring our museum to life and engage with the automotive community in an entirely new way.”

The California-based Petersen Museum has also recently agreed a similar partnership with Willow Springs Raceway, another California track with long history.
