Formula 1, Can-Am and Trans-Am will be fan favorites among the 15 historic race car classes featured at the 2018 Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion, scheduled for August 23-26 at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca in Monterey, California during Monterey Car Week.<\/p>\n

The annual Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion is a celebration of motorsport history that brings approximately 550 race cars together in one open paddock. Each accepted car, from more than 1,000 entry applications received, is scrutinized and accepted based on the car\u2019s authenticity, race provenance and period correctness.<\/p>\n

Nissan will be celebrated as featured marque for the first time in the event\u2019s history that dates back to 1974. Large fields of Datsuns and Nissans are entered that will hark back to the time of their beginning dominance in road racing.<\/p>\n
