Monterey Pre-Reunion and Corkscrew Hillclimb
Remote
Pre-Reunion is the Monterey week opener — the cars are real, the field is deep, and the crowd is smaller than Rolex Reunion proper. The Corkscrew Hillclimb is the special wrinkle.
Registration required. Pre-register before the event; walk-ups may not be admitted.
OverviewKick off Monterey Car Week in style at the Monterey Pre-Reunion, where racing history comes alive on the legendary curves of WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca. Witness hundreds of historic race cars—from iconic prototypes to classic sports cars—take to the track in authentic wheel-to-wheel competition. The Pre-Reunion offers a more laid-back and intimate atmosphere, giving fans a rare chance to get up close to the cars, chat with drivers, and experience the sights, sounds, and scents of vintage racing before the excitement of the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion. It’s the perfect weekend for true motorsport enthusiasts—pure racing, legendary machines, and timeless memories. Two thrilling days of historic racing will culminate with the Fifth Annual Corkscrew Hillclimb on Saturday, August 8, where fans will witness drivers take on the world-famous Corkscrew in reverse—racing up one of motorsport’s most iconic turns. This 90-minute spectacle features an exhilarating mix of specials and race cars charging uphill in pursuit of glory, as competitors attempt to beat the world record of 29.535 seconds, set in 2025 by Christine Sloss in her Ferrari SF90 XX Spider—the benchmark for a road-legal production hybrid convertible. Don’t miss this one-of-a-kind event where history, horsepower, and heart-pounding excitement come together on the legendary hills of WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca.
Monterey Car Week opens at Laguna Seca with the Pre-Reunion racing across multiple historic groups, plus the Corkscrew Hillclimb event. Tickets and weekend schedule on WeatherTech Raceway's site.
