Been around for over 60 years and has never had its original layout
changed, not once. Other adding and extending pit road. It has added
other tracks near it but the original is still used today.

Quite rare too see a track stay virtually the same since it was built.

This track has been used for filming episodes of both the American and
British versions of "Top Gear." On the British version the hosts played
a unique version of laser tag where they tried to race around the track
in a Lexus LFA, a SRT Viper, and an Aston Martin Vanquish while two
airplanes shot the lasers at them. The American version featured the
track in an episode about some of the worst cars ever built where the
hosts took parts in a track day here...driving a Ford Mustang II, a
Pontiac Aztek, and a Yugo.

There have been several other movies and TV shows filmed here over the
years, as one would expect from a high quality Southern California road
course. Parts of the iconic "Love Bug" were filmed at this track. "Jay
Leno's Garage" has also filmed here a few times, he and Patrick Dempsey
tested some Porsche 911s (classic and modern) here in one episode while
another saw the former talk show host play with some fast Aston-Martins
alongside Ben Collins.
