Czinger 21C prepares a return bid for the Laguna Seca lap record

American hypercar maker Czinger made it clear the battle for the WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca lap record is far from finished. After Koenigsegg Sadairs Spear clocked a 1:24.16 to take the crown from the previous leader, Czinger stated it plans to return and reclaim the top spot. The company describes Laguna Seca as its home track and emphasizes that record chasing is not a one-off stunt but a pillar of its development program. The message reads less like a boast and more like a long-term plan.

In essence, the brand is preparing a fresh attempt with the Czinger 21C from the California Goldrush campaign—the same car that previously collected records at several California circuits and has already posted a 1:24.75 at Laguna Seca. The car, according to the statements, is being rebuilt and readied for the next run, which typically means targeted tweaks to setup, aerodynamics, and tires for the track’s specific conditions. The approach suggests measured confidence: precision over spectacle.
