MONTEREY, Calif., Dec. 12, 2024—Applications have officially opened for owners and drivers of the greatest authentic, historic race cars to be considered for the prestigious Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion, August 13-16, 2025, at the iconic WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca. Fresh off a spectacular 2024 Rolex Reunion where 50 years of historic racing at Laguna Seca was showcased, this is the chance for many to be part of the kinetic celebration of racing history.

The 2025 Rolex Reunion promises exciting new experiences. There will be 13 race groups ranging from 1922-1955 Grand Prix legends to more modern machines like 1991-2011 IMSA prototypes ensuring that each race has something for every motorsport enthusiast.  

The featured celebration centers on the 75th Anniversary of Formula 1, the world’s most prestigious racing series. Visitors can expect on-track thrills watching races in the Mario Andretti class, the Phil Hill Cup exhibition featuring F1 cars from every era, and an impressive anniversary display that is being curated to showcase some of the most famous F1 cars in history.

New to the Rolex Reunion this year is a special group of original IROC (International Race of Champions) series cars with many being piloted by past IROC competitors from NASCAR, Formula 1, IMSA, INDYCAR and Trans-Am. This immensely popular series brought together the greatest drivers from all forms of motorsport to race purpose-built, identical cars to eliminate any advantages based on equipment.

Only 400 cars will be selected based on their historical significance, race provenance and period-correctness, ensuring the fields are as exceptional as the event.
