IndyCar setup sheet: WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca
The Firestone Grand Prix of Monterey is set to take place at the WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca, a 2.238-mile road course in Monterey, California on Sunday, September 10 at 2:30pm ET. The championship has already been decided, with Alex Palou clinching the title in Portland last weekend. However, there are still battles for third place in points and sixth place between drivers Josef Newgarden, Pato O’Ward, Scott McLaughlin, Marcus Ericsson, and Will Power. Additionally, teams are vying to secure a spot in the top 22 for financial support in 2024. The track at WeatherTech Raceway has been resurfaced, making tire data from previous years irrelevant. Eddie Jones, race engineer for Graham Rahal, is optimistic about their chances but acknowledges the challenge of replicating their recent success.
