Earlier this year, WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca launched the #RaceDayHerWay campaign on International Women’s Day — a season-long celebration of the many ways women connect with and love motorsports. Now, as the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship rolls into Monterey May 9–11, the track is kicking things up a notch with a weekend packed full of special activations designed to honor and engage female racing fans, made only more special by the fact that the race weekend falls on Mother’s Day.
From coffee chats to panel talks, content creators to community stories, here’s how you can celebrate the love of racing — her way — at Laguna Seca:
Latte’s with Lauri
Saturday, May 10 from 9 -10 a.m. meet Lauri Eberhart, CEO of Friends of Laguna Seca and long-time motorsports legal and business leader, at the paddock plaza near the entrance to the iconic Tire Bridge. Grab a cup of locally roasted coffee from Captain + Stoker and join Lauri along with other legendary women from across the racing industry for casual conversations and meaningful connections.
Women in Motorsports Panel
On Saturday at 11:25 a.m. head to the main stage for a dynamic conversation hosted by Eva Gregory from The @BeDifferentialPodcast. Eva will be joined by professional women from across the motorsports world to talk about the unique ways women drive change and growth in racing, both on and off the track.
