About Classic Car Week
Classic Car Week Takes Hold of the Monterey Peninsula
The heart of historic downtown Monterey will be transformed into an outdoor motorsports museum when historic race cars line Alvarado Street between 5 and 7 p.m. on Friday, August 11th as Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca kicks of the annual Monterey Classic Car Week activities.

The race car show lines the street allowing visitors the chance to freely walk among the race cars, take pictures beside them and ask questions of their owners. This event marks the start of an exhilarating week on the central coast and allows visitors to gain an up-close look at the weekend’s biggest automotive stars. In addition to its motorsports attractions, the race car show will also feature raffle prizes, music and driver interviews.

With the support of the Old Monterey Business Association, the show features a select group of classic race cars that are competing in both the Monterey Pre-Reunion, Aug. 12 and 13, and the week’s cornerstone event Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion which celebrates its 60th Anniversary. Under CHP escort, this band of historic race cars will depart the race track, drive down Highway 68 and finish their journey in beautiful Old Monterey where they will be on display for the downtown community.

Among the 30 diverse race cars planning to participate are a 1964 Jaguar E-Type, Aston Martin DBS3, 1966 Shelby GT350, 1959 Cooper Monaco and 1972 Chevron B21.

Part competition and part pageantry, racing history comes to life as cars from nearly every era grace Mazda Raceway August 17-20 at the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion which celebrates its 60th Anniversary. The cars, which are selected for their historical significance, authenticity and period-correctness, are divided into 15 classes, based on type of car, displacement and era of origin.
