Monterey Motorsports Reunion

Historic race cars at Laguna Seca, more properly known as the WeatherTech Raceway.  What more could you ask for? The Monterey Motorsports Reunion takes place during Monterey Car Week, attracting the best cars of the US West Coast and beyond, from brass era to 1980s IMSA monsters. The noise of the 1960s CanAm and 1970s TransAm grids is out of this world. The circuit sits in a hot, dusty natural bowl, and it twists and turns to the top of the hill, and then back down the infamous Corkscrew, one of the greatest sections of track in the world. The racing isn’t always quite as ‘spirited’ (okay, aggressive) as in the UK and Europe, but the venue is stunning, with accessible paddocks and brand displays.  If only the off-track attractions were a little higher quality. Be prepared for the huge temperature differences between coastal events and sun-baked Laguna Seca a few miles inland. Look out for the shuttle trolleys, don’t feel the need to dress smartly, take lots of sun-cream and wear ear protectors for the TransAms…
