Ambient temperatures soared to well over 100º Fahrenheit (as high as 114º F in the shade in the paddock, according to some race teams’ thermometers) during the 2006 edition of the Red Bull U.S. Grand Prix at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. The Weather Channel’s long-range forecast for Monterey, California does not expect daytime high temperatures to exceed 70º F between July 16 and July 24. The same long-range forecast calls for a slight chance of precipitation on each day of the 2007 U.S.G.P. July 20-22.
