The Champ Car World Series has placed a $5,000 bounty on the (unofficial) track record set by Toyota's Formula One car, the TF106, that was set last year.
With three drivers within a few ticks after yesterday's first of the two-day Spring Training, the F1 mark is almost assured of falling. Ricardo Zonta took the Toyota around Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca's 2.238 mile, 11-turn permanent road course in 1:06.309 (121.504 mph) at the Rolex Monterey Historics.
The bounty will be paid to the first who eclipses the mark. Yesterday, Paul Tracy, Sebastien Bourdais and Neel Jani were all within about .4 seconds of the record.
