<\/a><\/a>A crossroads of luxury lifestyle and the celebration of the automobile, The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering, continues to evolve far beyond beautiful faces, rolling jewelry, and gossip-hungry press. My father always thought a round of golf was the ultimate business mixer; four individuals wanting to escape life\u2019s daily grind with their guards down about \u201ctalking shop.\u201d<\/p>\n
Whether one of the five culinary pavilions where strangers often share tables or waiting in line for caviar at the Road & Track refuge, it\u2019s apparent that The Quail provides a platform for cross-pollination between a multitude of people \u201cin the know.\u201d<\/p>\n This year\u2019s event celebrated three unique classes starting with the 50th Anniversary of the BMW \u201cM\u201d Division<\/a>, founded in 1972. Predictably, \u201cM\u201d stands for motorsport, with the division\u2019s first project being a racecar version of the 3.0 CSL model.<\/p>\n Later came the M1 in 1978, followed by the 1979 release of the M535i, a high-performance version<\/a> of BMW’s popular 5 Series mid-size sedan.<\/p>\n Next was \u201c70 Years of Jaguar and their Wins at Le Mans.\u201d You may recall the 1950s was a golden era for British motorsport, with 5 of the 10 Le Mans 24 races won by Jaguar).<\/p>\n This class received the most attention due to both the nearby Pebble Beach Concours<\/a> and Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion<\/a> also celebrating the start of the Le Mans 24\u2019s 100th anniversary.<\/p>\n Lastly, with a spoonful of whimsical on top was \u201cAll Things MINI.\u201d BMC manufactured the British pop-culture icon of the 1960s through 1971. Many regard the Mini as the British version of the VW Bug, and who could argue with over 5 million sold?<\/p>\n Of course, traditional classes are always celebrated centerfield at The Quail and include the staples of motorsports:<\/p>\n Porsche fans are ALWAYS satisfied at the Quail for several reasons. RUF Automobile from Germany displayed its new Bergmeister prototype, while Singer Vehicle Design\u2019s display was packed, showcasing their \u201cTurbo Study\u201d inspired by the original 1975 930.<\/p>\n Guntherwerks of Southern California wowed everybody with both their Tornado and Exoskeleton commissions.<\/p>\n For those wanting to go a little faster, Hypercar manufacturer Pagani displayed an impressive collection of their ware, including 2 Huayra Rs, 3 Zonda Rs, 1 Zonda Revoluci\u00f3n; 1 Imola, 1 Huayra BC Coup\u00e9, a Huayra BC Roadster, and the North American debut of the Huayra Tricolore.<\/p>\n Other notables included Czinger, who debuted the Longtail 21C V Max, and Gordan Murray Automotive, who unveiled the T.33 and T.50 supercar models.<\/p>\n While everyone has an opinion about how cars should be judged, I appreciate The Quail\u2019s \u201cmodus operandi,\u201d where entrants choose class winners in that class, and the Best of Show award is selected by all entrants.<\/p>\n This reduces stress for car owners as they are not forced to clean the bottom of their car with Q-tips worried about what the judges may find. Instead, their fee to enter includes two lawn chairs and lunch, thereby promoting enjoyment by all. This year\u2019s winners included:<\/p>\n Rolex Circle of Champions \u201cBest of Show\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n Spirit of The Quail<\/b><\/p>\n Hagerty Drivers Foundation & Preservation Award<\/b><\/p>\n Octane Choice<\/b><\/p>\n Art Center College of Design<\/b><\/p>\n 50th Anniversary of the BMW M Division<\/b><\/p>\n All Things MINI<\/b><\/p>\n 70 Years of Jaguar and their Wins at Le Mans<\/b><\/p>\n Pre-War Sports & Racing Cars<\/b><\/p>\n Post-War Sports 1945-1960<\/b><\/p>\n Post-War Sports 1961-1975<\/b><\/p>\n Post-War Racing<\/b><\/p>\n Evolution of the Supercar<\/b><\/p>\n The Great Ferraris<\/b><\/p>\n Sports and Racing Motorcycles<\/b><\/p>\n Custom Coachwork<\/b><\/p>\n Car Park Concours de Quailegance<\/b><\/p>\n While each Car Week event on the Monterey Peninsula has its unique character, the overall experience at this year\u2019s Quail continues to be unbeatable. Where else does your ticket include caviar, oysters, fine wines, and champagne?<\/p>\n With its great food, beautiful people, and a very astute selection of automobiles, the experience is world-class. Founder Gordon McCall once told me, \u201cCars are fun,\u201d so it\u2019s no wonder he left his judging duties at Pebble to create this great institution we can all look forward to every August.<\/p>\n Until next time\u2026<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a>\n
