Three significant McLaren Formula 1 race cars will join an outstanding lineup for the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca, August 13-16, as the legendary event hosts an official celebration for Formula 1's 75th anniversary.

Housed in the McLaren Technology Centre in Woking, England, each car reflects the advanced technology and aerodynamics of its era that contributed to McLaren's dominance, culminating with Lando Norris' 2024 Constructors' Championship-winning McLaren.

The three arriving in Monterey are:

• '74 McLaren M23/05: Emerson Fittipaldi
• '84 McLaren MP4/2: Niki Lauda
• '24 McLaren MCL38/02: Lando Norris

Formula 1's 75th anniversary celebration will take center stage at the event with a spectacular display featuring more than 30 cars representing the history of the world's top racing series, along with daily exhibition laps.

McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown, a longtime Rolex Reunion participant, expressed his excitement about the event, celebrating both the history and future of F1 racing. While two of the cars will be on static display, Brown will pilot Niki Lauda's 1984 McLaren MP4/2 in exhibition runs on Friday and Saturday.

"It's fantastic to be back at the Monterey Motorsports Reunion. It's one of my favorite events of the year and it's an honor to get behind the wheel of Lauda's MP4/2, a car the team was so successful in. I'm looking forward to being part of the Formula 1 anniversary celebrations."

Complementing the F1 display is the Mario Andretti Trophy race group, which features 1966 to 1985 F1 cars--including marques such as Tyrrell, Williams, Lotus, Brabham, Wolf and Ferrari--racing daily. The historic F1 group harkens back to an era when a Cosworth DFV engine and a creative car designer could win races against titans like Ferrari and Lotus.

"An official celebration for the 75th anniversary of Formula 1 wouldn't be complete without these legendary McLaren Racing cars. We're grateful for McLaren's involvement and delighted that Zak will join us again as an on-track participant," said Mel Harder, president and general manager of WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca. "This year's Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion is truly a can't-miss experience."

The historic Formula 1 race is one of 14 race groups featured at the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion, which is dedicated to celebrating authentic historic race cars and their legacies from the past to the present day. The more than 400 participating cars are thoroughly vetted for their race provenance and period-correctness to the day the vehicle originally competed.
