    Track Character

    Twelve turns over 2.52 miles of California wine country, and Sonoma is defined by the land it is carved into. The circuit climbs and drops across the hills with blind crests and off-camber corners that hide their apex until you commit, making it one of the more technical road courses in the West. The elevation disguises entry speed and demands you trust lines you cannot fully see. Grip is generally strong, but the layout punishes any driver who lifts at the wrong moment.
