This August, the hills of Monterey will echo with the unmistakable scream of historic V12 engines as WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca hosts an unprecedented celebration for the 75th anniversary of Formula 1.
The Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion, one of the most prestigious vintage racing events in the world, will become a full sensory immersion into F1’s rich history.
From August 13-16, fans will have a rare opportunity to see, hear, and get up close with some of the most iconic machines that have ever graced the globe’s most famous circuits.
The on-track action promises to be a major highlight. A grid of 25 authentic F1 cars from the fan-favorite 1966-1985 non-turbo era will compete daily for the Mario Andretti Trophy.
This moving museum will bring legendary names like Tyrrell, Williams, Ferrari, Lotus, and Brabham back to life, allowing spectators to experience the raw power and glorious engine notes that defined a generation of Grand Prix racing.
Beyond the track, the event will feature an incredible exhibition of more than 30 rarely seen historic F1 cars, sourced from world-renowned museums and exclusive private collections. For many of these cars, it will be the first time they have ever been displayed together in one place.
The collection will span nearly the entire history of the sport, from a classic 1956 Maserati 250F and the iconic 1966 Eagle Mk1 to modern marvels like the 2024 World Constructors’ Championship-winning McLaren MCL38, as driven by Lando Norris.
“It will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience to see this jaw-dropping collection of cars and F1 history,” said Mel Harder, president of WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca. F1’s Chief Commercial Officer, Emily Prazer, also added, “This is a fitting commemoration of 75 incredible years of Formula 1.”
The Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion has always been a premier showcase for authentic race cars, but this year’s official F1 celebration promises something truly special. For motorsport fans, it will be a rare chance to walk through 75 years of technological evolution and witness the machines that created legends, all in one iconic American location.
