The Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion will host over 400 carefully restored cars at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca for four days of racing and exhibitions from August 14 to 17. Originally known as the Monterey Historic Automobile Races since its inception in 1974, with only 66 entries at the first event, the current edition has advanced to hundreds of chosen entrants who receive a prized letter of acceptance recognizing their vehicle’s esteemed legacy. This event brings together racing legends with the cars that propelled them to victory over their careers. One of the distinguished attendees this year is Jenson Button, the 2009 Formula 1 world champion, who will be driving his 1952 Jaguar C-Type at the event, previously owned by Juan Manuel Fangio. Button, expressing his admiration for the circuit, described Laguna Seca as a thrilling track due to its elevation variations and the iconic Corkscrew corner, emphasizing the exhilarating experience of driving even vintage cars at high speeds. He eagerly anticipates competing in his C-Type and highlights the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion as a remarkable occasion showcasing top-tier racing with historic automobiles.
