F1 Glory<\/h2>\n
Two exciting new additions to the Rolex Reunion will provide immense fan engagement. A special Formula One exhibition will showcase cars through the ages\u2014from the earliest years to contemporary with modern technology\u2014to honor the history and progression of these sleek, high-revving machines that have raced at the highest level of international competition. <\/p>\n The high-pitched revs of F1 will starkly contrast the deep-throated rumble of cars from the original IROC (International Race of Champions) series, which held races from 1973 to 2006. For the first time since 2002, IROC will return to the West Coast with an incredible display of authentic IROC race cars, with many being piloted by past IROC<\/a> competitors from NASCAR<\/a>, Formula One<\/a>, IMSA<\/a>, INDYCAR<\/a> and Trans-Am. <\/p>\n The IROC series brought together the greatest drivers from all forms of motorsport to race purpose-built, identical cars to eliminate any advantages based on equipment. Various iconic makes and models were used during IROC\u2019s 30-plus-year history, including Porsche Carrera RSRs, Chevrolet Camaros, Dodge Daytonas, Dodge Avengers, and Pontiac Firebirds.<\/p>\n The Reunion Advisory Council has spent considerable time reviewing past classes and analyzing the mix that will keep the on-track racing and immersive experience at its highest level. According to Reunion Advisory Council Chair Bruce Canepa<\/a>, there were many factors to consider before finalizing the list. <\/p>\n \u201cWe carefully evaluate what groups are truly fan favorites and have significant cars that fully represent that era of racing to ensure a memorable experience for drivers and spectators,\u201d said Canepa. \u201cThe Monterey hillsides will reverberate with the distinct sounds of historic F1 cars, while an additional 350-plus historic race cars will add to the diversity of the annual celebration of motorsport history.\u201d <\/p>\n The Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion, known for its unique blend of history and high-octane entertainment, will showcase everything from pre-1955 Grand Prix cars to iconic, more modern-day prototypes. Each of the 13 race groups and two exhibition classes will be on track daily. <\/p>\n In addition to the racing, attendees can look forward to various engaging activities, including meet-and-greets with legendary drivers, and a chance to view some of the most iconic cars up close in the paddock. <\/p>\n \u201cThe Advisory Council takes an in-depth look at each entry to determine the car\u2019s authenticity, provenance, and period correctness,\u201d Canepa added. \u201cReplicas, continuations, or overbuilt cars that differ from the day they originally raced are simply not accepted. We require, and visitors expect, only the \u201cbest of the best\u201d real cars with racing pedigree and historical significance.\u201d <\/p>\n The entry application opens December 2 and will be available exclusively online at WeatherTechRaceway.com.<\/a><\/p>\n Above content \u00a9 2024 Weathertech Raceway Laguna Seca, reviewed and edited by Rex McAfee<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\nInternational Race of Champions<\/h2>\n
