Location
City insight: Brea
Brea is a city in north Orange County, California, USA, about 25 miles southeast of Los Angeles and part of the Los Angeles metropolitan area. It began as a center of crude oil production. Summers are hot and dry, so the mild months from late autumn to spring are the best seasons to race.
