The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering

Cars and gourmet food. What could be better? The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering has become the place for well-heeled Carmel locals to mix with the auto-world movers and shakers during Monterey Car Week. The not-insignificant entry costs cover food and drink throughout the day, with themed outdoor restaurants spread around the ever-expanding venue. Along with the culinary offerings are the equally impressive cars and bikes, from pre-war to the latest hypercars, with many manufacturers choosing The Quail for world or US premieres of new models. The event will boast several special classes alongside the regular features of Post-War Sports, Post-War Racing, The Evolution of the Supercar, The Great Ferraris, Custom Coachwork, and Sports and Racing Motorcycles. Such is the clamour for tickets that they’re now granted by organiser Peninsula Events on a lottery basis. This opens every February, six months ahead of the event itself.
