Lotus 77 and Ferrari 312 T2 battle at the 2013 Monterey Motorsports Reunion<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A field of up to 30 historic Formula 1 cars will line up on the grid for the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion 2015, to be held August 13-16 at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca during Monterey Classic Car Week.<\/p>\n

As featured in Ron Howard\u2019s 2013 movie drama \u201cRush\u201d, the same cars that were originally involved in the epic driving battle for the 1976 F1 World Championship between Ferrari\u2019s Niki Lauda and McLaren\u2019s James Hunt (who won by one point) will among the historically accurate and authentic cars competing at the Monterey Reunion 2015. The field is restricted to 3-liter Formula 1 cars that raced between 1967 and 1984 in the world\u2019s premier racing series.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor many European drivers, this will be their first time driving Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca,\u201d said Ron Maydon of Masters Historic Racing, an organizer of Formula 1 races across Europe. \u201cThere was an increased level of excitement as soon as it was announced that Formula 1 cars would be included this year at the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bearing driver names of Hunt, Lauda, Mario Andretti and Emerson Fittipaldi, the cars have been restored to their original specifications and livery. Only authentic cars that pass the scrutineering process are accepted to compete in the historic car race. Formula 1 cars last raced at the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion in 2013, and typically alternate years with the thunderous Can-Am cars of the \u201960 and early \u201870s.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis year\u2019s Formula 1 grid will showcase a number of cars that have not been seen on this side of the pond in years, if ever,\u201d said Gill Campbell, CEO\/general manager of Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. \u201cTheir high-pitched engines will provide a stark contrast to the rumble and growl of 40 racing Shelby GT350s, which is this year\u2019s featured marque.\u201d<\/p>\n

The tradition that began in 1974 that features a marque to honor continues with the commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the Shelby GT350. While Carroll Shelby and the Shelby Cobra have been honored in the past, this is the first time the GT350 is the special marque. Ford Motor Company is supporting the achievement with what will be a memorable paddock heritage display.<\/p>\n

For full ticket information and event schedule, visit MazdaRaceway.com<\/a> or call the ticket office at 831-242-8200. Tickets begin at $50 for a Friday general admission and range up to $510 for a three-day ticket inside the Premier Pit Row Suite.<\/p>\n
