Button set for Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion with his Jaguar C-Type

On Aug 8, 2024

The Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion is set to welcome more than 400 meticulously restored cars to WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca for four days of racing and displays, Aug. 14-17.

Established in 1974 as the Monterey Historic Automobile Races, the inaugural edition featured 66 entries. Today, the hundreds of selected entrants are presented with a coveted letter of acceptance, affirming their vehicle’s prestigious heritage. The event reunites motor racing heroes with the machines that drove them to success throughout their career.

Among them again this year will be 2009 Formula 1 world champion Jenson Button, who returns to drive his 1952 Jaguar C-Type (pictured above)

, once owned by Juan Manuel Fangio.

“Laguna Seca is a fantastic circuit to drive. It’s a fast-flowing and particularly challenging track given the elevation changes and the legendary Corkscrew corner,” said Button. “Even when you’re in a car from the 1950s, circuits like Laguna Seca feel incredibly fast and I’m looking forward to racing my C-Type there next week. The Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion is a spectacular event that offers some of the best racing you’ll ever see in historic cars.”
