The Rolex Monterey Motorsport Reunion at Laguna Seca was already one of our favorite events of the year, with its great racing and incredible selection of vintage race cars, but this year is going to be even more special. That’s because it was announced that the featured marque for this year’s event is Nissan.
Nissan will be celebrating 50 years of corporate-backed racing this year, and 2018 marks the first time the Rolex Reunion has had an Asian brand as its featured marque.
With the increasing popularity of classic Japanese cars and increasing participation in vintage race events, the timing is right for Nissan’s moment in the spotlight. Not only can one expect lots of privately owned Nissan and Datsun race cars to be at the track, but you can also count on seeing come historic race cars from Nissan’s own collection.
Here’s hoping some of the awesome machinery stored at the Zama DNA Garage in Japan makes its way across the pacific for this special event.
While there’s always plenty of good reasons to check out the reunion, the addition of Nissan as the featured marque should make the 2018 Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion a can’t-miss event for Nissan and Datsun enthusiasts or any fan of Japanese racing history. We’ll see you in August!
