Historic race cars return to Laguna Seca
Hundreds of period-correct race cars compete at Laguna Seca during Monterey Car Week, drawing an international audience for four full days.
Event details
The Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion turns Laguna Seca into a living museum, with historic race cars actually competing rather than sitting behind ropes, while paddock access, famous drivers, and the Corkscrew make the event a centerpiece of Monterey Car Week each August. Vintage-car displays throughout the paddock area reward slow browsing as much as trackside viewing.
Paddock access lets families walk directly among decades of racing history between sessions, a rare opportunity for children to see historic machinery up close rather than only from a grandstand, while the Corkscrew turn offers a genuinely dramatic viewing place for the racing itself.
Monterey Peninsula lodging reaches peak demand during Car Week, and camping at the circuit is part of the experience for many longtime fans. Reserve a Stay well in advance, pack sun protection for a full day trackside, and leave room for coastal drives, Fort Ord trails, or other automotive-week events. It is genuinely living automotive history, best experienced across the full four-day run rather than a single afternoon at the track. Coastal fog often lingers into midmorning, so pack layers for a cool start that warms as the day goes on.
