Description: SVRA returns to Sonoma for the Sonoma Historic Motorsports Festival, a Gold Medallion event. Racers and fans will enjoy this invitational event, which salutes race cars prepared to the rules of the era in which they were originally raced.
A celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Can-Am, and the of the Trans-Am Series, will offer a trip down memory lane through one of the most exciting eras in America’s racing heritage.

The Sonoma Historic Motorsports Festival is another first event on the SVRA’s West Coast schedule in 2016. This invitational event launches the General Racing/Gold Medallion program that salutes and rewards cars that are prepared as they were raced in the original era.

This invitational event will take place on the challenging 12-turn road course which opened in 1968, and features over 16 stories of elevation change with lots of fast sweeping turns. Sonoma Raceway has hosted every major amateur and professional racing series during its 45 year history. The track’s proximity to California’s famous Sonoma and Napa wine regions also makes it a popular venue with both competitors and race fans and offers a wide variety of pre and post-race activities, including the race car drive and show at the downtown Sonoma Square.
