Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion Announces Lineup

MONTEREY, Calif. — WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca will host the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion, August 16-19, with entry applications now open. 

Celebrating its 49th anniversary of honoring motorsports history in Monterey, the historic race event has flourished from its humble beginnings in 1974 to a highly respected international gathering that recently was named Motorsport Event of the Year by the Historic Motoring Awards.

Some of the most popular groups return in 2023, including the high-revving historic Formula One cars and the guttural roar of Can-Am and Trans-Am that were immensely popular fixtures at Laguna Seca in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

Returning for the first time since 2018 is the international grid comprising Formula 5000 cars that were once piloted by such legends as Mario Andretti, Brian Redman, Al Unser, David Hobbs and James Hunt.
