For just about every sport out there is a pinnacle event that overshadows the others. For football fans it's the Superbowl, for NASCAR fans it's the Daytona 500, and for those who indulge in vintage racing it's the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion.
Once a year, the icons of historic sports car racing make their way to Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca for a week of some of the most exciting racing you can find. The Reunion hosts everything from 1930's Bugatti's, to Group C & Can-AM. This year was no different with 11 Porsche 962's entered to make their way down the corkscrew together!
Unlike other races, the reunion isn't about competition. Instead, it's about enjoying a piece of history unfold before your eyes as if you stepped into a time machine back to the era in which these cars competed. Sure you can make the comparisons that it's like watching Civil War reenactments, but this is MUCH more than that. The emotions that come to you and the feeling the rumble into your chest prove otherwise and give you the ultimate holy shit moment.
With it being the 70th anniversary of Ferrari, the was an exceptional turnout of classic Ferrari's signed up with a few being a 312PB, 512M Spider, and even a 250 Testa Rossa. Seeing some of the finest in Ferrari's racing history being slung through the corkscrew could be one of the finest moments of the reunion.
Another anniversary that was shared during the reunion was the 60th anniversary of Laguna Seca which a tent was set up with some of the most iconic winning cars from the past including the 1956 Ferrari 500 Testa Rossa which competed and won at the first run at Laguna Seca.
