Can You Name 25 Racing Legends (and 2 or 3 Poseurs) on this Program?
WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca just released the cover image for its program to be sold at the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion coming up Aug. 14-17 and it's loaded with racing heroes. There are 25 in all and any one of them would be a story unto his or herself. There are even actors in it—and one comedian.
So the question is: Can you name all 25?
The racing greats span the breadth of generations, from the beginnings of Formula 1 to a couple who are still occasionally behind the wheel, albeit in historic racing. Some you love—heck, all you love, if you're reading this website.
The commemorative souvenir program celebrates the 50th anniversary of historic racing at the Monterey circuit. This year's reunion will feature more than 400 race cars from nearly every era of motorsport.
Cars that will race around Laguna Seca's 11 turns include: the 1966 Gurney Eagle IndyCar (Dan Gurney was the "featured marque" in 2010), and 1956 Maserati 250F (Maserati in 1988, 2000, and 2014), the 1955 Mercedes-Benz W196 (Mercedes in 1978 and 1986) and 2023 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 “Garage 56” NASCAR (Chevrolet in 1987) that competed in the 2023 24 Hours of Le Mans.
“We wanted to showcase the diversity of the many motorsport legends and personalities who annually enjoy the gathering,” said Barry Toepke, director of heritage events at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca. “Each of the 25 personalities have stories, and I hope people will enjoy identifying each person to stir up their own memories and smiles.”
Advance ticket pricing, as well as limited VIP hospitality packages, parking, and camping are available and can be purchased by calling 831-242-8200 or by visiting online at WeatherTechRaceway.com.
