The Countdown to the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion

75th anniversary of the Del Monte Trophy Race group

Celebrating 75 Years of the Del Monte Trophy Race Group and the Legacy That Created Laguna Seca

This year marks the 75th Anniversary of the Del Monte Trophy Race, the landmark event that forever changed American road racing. Following the success of the Pebble Beach Road Races, safety concerns led organizers to seek a permanent racing facility, resulting in the creation of Laguna Seca in 1957. The Del Monte Trophy Race became the centerpiece of the new circuit's inaugural season, launching what would become one of the world's most iconic road courses. As we celebrate 75 years of the Del Monte Trophy and honor the legacy of the Pebble Beach Road Races, we pay tribute to the visionaries whose passion for motorsport gave birth to WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca.
