Southern California Motor Culture Leaves Impact On WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca

We were able to accomplish something pretty cool last week with a great group of people who built one fast car!

Southern California Motor Culture Leaves Impact On WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca

BRAVO ... to Hesperia, California born and raised, Mazda ladder trained, expert Seca pilot, Joel Miller.

Czinger Vehicles, the trailblazing Southern California company that uses revolutionary design and manufacturing technologies to build state-of-the-art, homologated high-performance vehicles, has set a new lap record at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca.

On July 21 at 7:43pm PT, the Czinger 21C Hypercar, with driver Joel Miller behind the wheel, set the record in a multi-GPS verified time of 1:25:44.  The previous track record was held by the McLaren Senna, with driver Randy Pobst setting a time of 1:27.62.

Just because this car represents the cutting edge of what the human mind can do, doesn’t mean it can’t look drop dead gorgeous! Image Credit: Czinger Vehicles via FB (2021)

Joel Miller, early in his racing career, was the subject of a movie on racing, and learning how to be a race car driver entitled "Driven To Race" where the title came from something his mother said during filming. In an answer (paraphrased) to a question on just how come her son, Joel, was showing such an intense focus on driving fast cars in a crowd, she responded ... he's just driven to race!

Yes, The EDJE is very familiar with Joel and the movie Joel participated in. So much so that a line from a review of the movie made it to the cover of the DVD made for sale to the public. 

Review Line?
"... one of the best documentaries about a competitive pursuit, any competitive pursuit, ever made!"
