Reunion set to be a feast of F1

Up to 400 racing cars will descend on Laguna Seca, with stars of Formula 1 centre stage

- 

When stars of the day such as Juan Manuel Fangio, Raymond Mays and Giuseppe Farina lined up on the Silverstone grid before the flag dropped on the first Formula 1 World Championship race, the last thing they were probably thinking about was whether or not F1 had a future.

Three-quarters of a century has passed since then and, as Motor Sport readers know, Formula 1 has survived decades of ups and downs to emerge stronger and more popular than ever - and its 75th anniversary has been chosen as the theme for this year's Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion happening at Laguna Seca during Monterey Car Week.

The Reunion has celebrated Formula 1 for several years with the Mario Andretti Trophy race for cars built between 1966 and 1985 but, for 2025, a new class will be added to spotlight pre-1966 grand prix cars.
