I'm planning on going to Laguna Seca to see the FGT and GT350R-C in action. 8)

I'll start a separate thread later on this but I'm also planning on going to F1 at COTA in 2016 to see the new Haas F1 team. Hopefully they fill the second seat with an American and my fingers are crossed for the local to me guy Alexander Rossi.

Who's with me for going to the 24 Hours of the Nurburgring in 2016? I've been before and it's amazing beyond words. Unlike any other race...you can get within feet of the track for a fraction of the price. It was a lot more exciting and fun than the Monico Grand Prix I went to that same year. The best part is how close you can get to the cars and the pit access. Hopefully it doesn't rain though like it did last time I was there.

I'll be at Daytona, Sebring, VIR and maybe Road Atlanta.

I'm going to LS and I'm sorta-kinda planning a trip to Europe next summer that will overlap with LeMans. I've been lobbying Ford Performance for a European delivery program for the Focus RS...how cool would that be?! Pick up your RS in Germany, drive to LeMans and camp out to watch the return of the FGT 50 years later?!
