Avatar photoKristina Cilia

Velocity Invitational saw a return to its roots at Sonoma Raceway in Northern California the weekend of November 10-12, 2023. Dubbed the ‘West Coast Goodwood’ by some car enthusiasts, the third chapter of the event highlighted the 60th Anniversary of McLaren while also showcasing an impressive selection of high-performance automobiles, classic racing vehicles, and a celebrity-filled roster of drivers. On top of that, the unforgettable trio of days was also filled with cultural experiences, exquisite gourmet cuisine, and wine throughout the event plaza.

During Velocity Invitational, fans had the opportunity to meet McLaren Formula 1 driver Lando Norris, as well as McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown, along with Arrow McLaren IndyCar Team drivers Pato O’Ward, Alexander Rossi, and Tony Kanaan. They also witnessed these talented individuals take to the track throughout the weekend.
