Over a dozen F1 cars will take part in the Mario Andretti Trophy F1 races of cars from 1966 to 1985, with dozens of F1 cars heading to the Weathertech Raceway Laguna Seca to form a special exhibition group with 2.3 Meal roads on 2.3 Meal roads.
Among the highlights of the exhibition group, Honda and Williams are introducing Nigel Mansell’s 1986 FW11 with guest drivers to equip a 1.5-liter twin-turbo V6 engine with over 1,000 hp and over 1,000 hp.
