Monterey Car Week From modest beginnings in 1950 — a road race won by Phil Hill, and fewer than three dozen cars on exhibit — the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance has grown to become the centerpiece of a full week of automotive excellence.
The race portion moved to the racetrack at Laguna Seca park in 1957, and eventually grew to become the Rolex Monterey Historic Auto Races, held at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. The entries for the Concours have grown to number in the hundreds. But best of all for car buffs, a host of ancillary events now take place throughout the week leading up to the Concours.
