Welcome on Behalf of Rolex Watch U.S.A. For more than a century, Rolex’s quest for excellence through continuous improvement and innovation has underpinned all its activities, in its watchmaking and in all its engagements. This focus on “Perpetual Excellence” drives us to seek partnerships with individuals, organizations and events that set the highest standards of performance. Rolex’s support of motorsports dates to the 1930s, when Sir Malcolm Campbell shattered a series of speed records on the sand at Daytona Beach with a Rolex on his wrist. Since that time, Rolex has become intrinsically linked with the pursuit of speed and individual achievement that are the hallmark of motorsports competition. Today, Rolex supports motorsports in many forms: as the official timepiece and global partner of Formula 1®, the title sponsor of the Rolex 24 at Daytona, the official timepiece of the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the FIA World Endurance Championship, and through our ties with icons of racing such as Sir Jackie Stewart, Tom Kristensen, Mark Webber and Nico Rosberg. Rolex is also proud to celebrate the beauty and heritage of motorsports by supporting the Goodwood Revival, The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering, the Pebble Beach Concours and Tour d’Elegance, and, of course, as the title sponsor of the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion. Rolex is proud to support the four cornerstone events across the peninsula during Monterey Classic Car Week, but the Rolex Monterey Motorsport Reunion is the one that allows motoring fans to experience history in action, showcasing the most priceless racing vehicles ever to grace the road. The world’s most iconic vintage race cars have been competing in Monterey since 1974, bringing the sights, sounds and visceral excitement of racing’s greatest competitors from the past century to WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca. We are thrilled to see familiar faces in the paddock and legendary racing drivers from different disciplines and eras. This year we celebrate 50 years of the International Motor Sports Association (IMSA), the primary road racing series in North America, which has an incredibly rich history and deep connection to Rolex—the Rolex 24 At Daytona and the 12 Hours of Sebring are major milestones of the IMSA season. More than 550 cars from various eras will be on track throughout the four-day celebration, driven by collectors and racing drivers from around the world. Motorsport requires a combination of accuracy, endurance and precision, making the partnership between Rolex and the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion a natural fit. We anticipate an incredible week of motoring appreciation, celebration and excitement. Thank you for joining us— we look forward to another wonderful year in Monterey.
YOURS SINCERELY,

grand marshal Hurley Haywood and other legendary IMSA drivers, will be joining us for this celebration. The sports car racing on which this track was founded back in 1957 has been a mainstay on our calendar, with IMSA events during the years after the popular Can-Am, Trans-Am and Formula 5000 series had waned and before Indy cars and international motorcycle races first made their presence. The success of the Camel GT era brought incredible machines and talented drivers to the track in the 1980s, and the eras that followed featured thrilling racing that has more recently led to the resurgence of sports car racing in the United States. We are grateful to have our legendary race track to properly showcase the innovative machines, brilliant minds and talented drivers who have contributed to a half century of greatness. Through the wonderful support of Rolex, WeatherTech, IMSA and the County of Monterey, race fans of all generations can experience historic and period-correct race cars coming to life on the race track and enjoy valuable collector cars driving on our scenic Monterey

A Journey to the Opening of
Laguna Seca BY G A RY H O RSTKO RTA
Editor’s Note: Stories abound of the earliest days of Laguna Seca, some true and some fiction. Bob Cole was present at the beginning. Since then, he has become one of the most respected automobile dealers in the San Francisco Bay Area. He is co-founder of the Candy Store car club, an initial investor in Sears Point Raceway and has an illustrious sailboat racing career. Bob Cole is going strong and pressing on.

here is a long list of drivers who have competed at Laguna Seca since the first race in 1957. Of these, there are a select group who were successful racers and successful businessmen and leaders. An even more select group also excelled in multiple fields and could be described as a local legend. One such local legend is Bob Cole. This is his story.

RIGHT: A college student, ROTC cadet and sports car enthusiast, Cole adorned his MG with some of the trophies and ribbons won in various events as a member of the Land O’ Lakes Region of the SCCA. BELOW: A focused Bob Cole in his own TR-2 purchased just a few months previously on the grid at Santa Barbara for his second road race. OPPOSITE: Triumph sub-distributor Rusty Hyde asked Cole to drive both a production TR-3 and a modified TR-3, which is shown here during the 1956 season.

Laguna Seca—Before It Was a Raceway
ABOVE: In a case of love at first sight, Cole purchased an almost new 1953 MG-TD after seeing a new one in a local dealer’s showroom.

WHEN IT’S YOUR 50TH ANNIVERSARY, YOU CELEBRATE. That’s what the International Motor Sports Association (IMSA) has done throughout 2019, and this weekend at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca, that celebration kicks into high gear throughout the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion. IMSA has a long history as the premier sanctioning body for sports car competition in North America. It was founded in Bridgeport, Conn., in 1969 by John Bishop with the assistance of NASCAR president Bill France Sr. Bishop was a 12-year employee of the Sports Car Club of America who elected to follow his own vision for professional road racing. He and his wife, Peggy, brought a family-style feel to the organization. Let’s look at how we got here—and where we’re going.

In September 1996, the International Motor Sports Group—a conglomerate including Roberto Muller and Andy Evans—purchased IMSA and changed its name to Professional SportsCar Racing for 1997. The following three years saw many developments: The United States Road Racing Championship sanctioned races with the assistance of the Sports Car Club of America in 1998-99. While affiliated initially with the USRRC, Don Panoz departed to hold the inaugural Petit Le Mans endurance race at Road Atlanta in 1998. He expanded that concept into a full series in 1999, the American Le Mans Series (ALMS). He envisioned bringing European-style endurance sports car racing to the U.S.—highlighted by the 12 Hours of Sebring and Petit Le Mans. Panoz also acquired rights to IMSA, which became the sanctioning body for the organization.

Held each August on California’s stunning Monterey Peninsula, this weeklong festival was pioneered by the Pebble Beach Concours and Road Races. After briefly showcasing new cars, from 1955 the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance® focused on the heritage of the automobile and presented its top award to an “old car,” now known as a “classic.” Seeing an increasing interest in classic cars, the events shifted to concentrate entirely on collector cars and proved to be the inspiration for similar meetings globally.

Since its initial foray in the 1930s, Rolex’s presence in motorsports has grown steadily, driven by an unwavering commitment to the highest standards of performance and innovation. Whether supporting the leading motorsports series, Formula 1®, iconic endurance races such as the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the Rolex 24 At DAYTONA, or events that showcase the heritage of the sport, Rolex maintains an enduring relationship with this exciting world. This support also extends to the Goodwood Revival, which recalls the heyday of motor racing. These ties include partnerships with some of the sport’s most successful drivers. In 1968, Rolex formed a close relationship with Sir Jackie Stewart, a three-time

As the featured marque of the 2019 event, IMSA will bring its rich history to life with a heritage display celebrating the 50th anniversary of North America’s premier sports car racing sanctioning body. The 8,000-square-foot tent will not only house iconic race cars from IMSA’s past but will feature fan-friendly and engaging content throughout the course of the weekend, including autograph sessions and historic race videos. A number of cars from IMSA’s past and present are on display from participating manufacturers Acura, Audi, BMW, Cadillac and Lexus.

“Started by John Bishop in 1969 with help and encouragement from ‘Big Bill’ France, IMSA has endured many challenges and difficulties over the past 40 years.”
This wreck was a brand new Tui BH3 Super Vee that had run only one race before Pfanner rented it to the marque’s Southern California distributor—who, on his first lap of practice, wandered into the path of the pole-winning car that was at top speed in the Road Atlanta esses. Both cars were written off. The car he ran into was driven by one of Pfanner’s first graphic-design clients! Not a good day.
PAUL PFANNER
The Tui was rebuilt by the distributor, and Pfanner sold it to purchase an Elden Mk 8 Formula Ford which he raced for two years and then sold it. The modest sum that he received from this sale was what Pfanner used to start his company on December 18, 1979. And the rest is history.

hose who’ve been attending the historic car races at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca for years have their special memories: Ferrari 250 GTOs storming down the Corkscrew. Porsche 917s accelerating up the front straight. For some, one scene would be difficult to top—Formula 1 champion Phil Hill accelerating out of the last turn in his 1931 Blower Bentley. It seemed like each wheel and fender was pointed in a different direction as the big machine hustled around the corner. Was that a smile on Phil’s face?

Built as a 6.5-liter Speed Six in 1929, it came with two bodies: a four-seat tourer and a racing shell created by Vanden Plas. This is the car Barnato and Birkin drove to victory at Le Mans in 1929. Barnato and Kidston teamed up for a repeat in 1930, and the car also competed at tracks like Brooklands. In 1932 the 6.5 was swapped for an 8-liter engine for another race at Brooklands. Sadly, the car went over the banking at high speed, killing Clive Dunfee. It was rebuilt as a coupe for public roads, and Barnato brought it to the U.S. for his honeymoon. The

y maternal grandfather, Hermon Simpson, was a great
car enthusiast. Before the Second World War, in 1938, he bought a twoseat Frazer Nash-BMW Type 328. After the war, Frazer Nash director D. A. Aldington and his brothers went to Germany with the blessing of the War Reparations Board and arranged to build BMW-based cars
and engines in the United Kingdom.

Around the same time, the Bristol Aeroplane Company (based in Filton) was looking to find work for the thousands of aircraft workers no longer needed after the war. They bought the Frazer Nash business and started building cars; in 1948 they produced the beautiful, advanced Bristol 400. Grandpa bought one. In 1959 Grandpa passed away and I took over his mophead-manufacturing business in Burnley, Lancashire. I had a Morris 1000 Traveller car—fitted with a Shorrock supercharger, harder brake linings and anti-roll bars front and rear—and drove like a maniac delivering mopheads all over the north of England. I thought I’d better get off the road and onto the track. Easter Monday at Rufforth, near York, saw my first race. My preparation? Painted numbers on the doors with shoe whitener, stuck electrical tape over the headlights. Following successful seasons in 1965 and ’66 driving a [Jaguar] Lightweight E-Type and a Lola T70 Mk II Can-Am for Charles Bridges’ Red Rose Motors (Chester), Brian Redman and Sam Posey raced the No. 24 BMW 3.0 CSL at the Riverside 6 Hours in May 1975, coming in second to their BMW Motorsport teammates, Hans Stuck and Dieter Quester (No. 25).
I was asked if I’d like to turn professional. I did—for $50 a week, guaranteed for a year. In October of 1967, Richard Attwood and I finished sixth overall and first in class at a very wet Paris 1000 Ks at Montlhery. After the race, a tall, somewhat distinguished gentleman introduced himself to me: “I’m David Yorke, team manager for John Wyer. How would you like to drive with Jacky Ickx at the Kyalami 9 Hours next month?” Would I! We won, and I signed a contract for 1968. Suddenly, F1 also beckoned and I signed to drive for the Cooper Car Company. First place with Ickx at Brands Hatch and Spa-Francorchamps in the John Wyer Gulf GT40, third at the Spanish Grand Prix for Cooper and second to Jochen Rindt in F2 at London’s Crystal Palace. Life was good. That changed on June 9, when on the seventh lap of the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps, the Cooper’s right front suspension broke and I had an enormous accident, suffering a compound fracture of the right forearm as the car rolled over the barrier. Back racing by January 1969, and fortunate to be in the victorious Porsche team, I won five races in the 908K and LH with Jo Siffert. Then three more in the 917 and 908/03

In its January 1951 issue, Road & Track described the ambiance at the Pebble Beach races: “A road winding thru stately trees to ascend a wooded hill and then ’round hay bale chicanes to drive down on an open-field straightaway. Enthusiastic spectators gathered at every vantage point, some peering from behind trees on the turns, while others sit on logs overlooking the course. The excited whine of stressed engines as be-numbered
sports cars chase around the hay bales.” Sterling Edwards gets credit for much of the organizing needed for that first Pebble Beach race event. He was also an entrant, in his famous Ford-powered Edwards

So many MGs, both TCs and TDs, one TC powered by a Ford flathead V-8 60. A Cadillacpowered Allard J2. A Frazer Nash-BMW. And the new Jaguar XK-120s. Entrant Phil Hill bought his Jag while apprenticing in England. Back in California, he and his good friend Richie Ginther stripped the car and prepped it for racing. In that same January 1951 Road & Track report, Hill wrote about that weekend and his win in the main event, the
Phil Hill
Pebble Beach Cup. Here are a few excerpts: “Richie Ginther (who was to manage the pit) and I arrived at Pebble Beach Saturday afternoon. The thought and planning that had gone into the layout, pits, turns, and other details was obvious on our first tour of the course. The ‘Jag’ was at its best and handled very well on the extremely sharp turns during a few practice laps. I worried over my chances as the XK-120 is at its best on long straights where full power can be utilized.”
They were late getting to the circuit on Sunday, race day, and Hill had to drive in the preliminary heat for preparation.
Bill Pollack, 1951 Sterling Edwards
“At the drop of the green flag, I punched the Jag and went flying into the first turn ahead of the field. But whoa Nellie! The brakes had more than they could handle and I shot up the escape road while the pack roared by. In my efforts to make up the lost time a few corner hay bales were smacked but good. On the fourth lap, I moved into second position and limited my worries to the leader and my brakes. “During the 9th lap, while closing on the leading Allard, I attempted a speed-shift into fourth gear with disastrous results…the lining pulled loose from the clutch plate, jamming it into the engaged position. All shifting from this point on had to be done without disengaging the clutch.”
What would that mean as they lined up for the big race Phil Hill, 1950

“With no clutch for the main event, the only way the car could be started was to put it in gear, press the starter button, and take off as soon as it fired.

“By this time, my brakes were all but gone and the overworked gearbox was forced to do most of the decelerating. As I went by the pits, Richie showed a blackboard with ‘Long Lead’ on it. I misread this to mean that a driver by the name of Long was leading and immediately put on more speed in an effort to close the mythical gap. “Next lap, Richie flashed a blackboard with ‘One’ on it and I thought, thank God, only one lap to go. Actually this was to show my position and at this time only 18 laps had been run. Each time around I looked for the finish flag and those last 7 laps seemed like 50. Finally, I received the checkered flag… still not certain as to my finishing position. It was not until the Jag rolled to a stop that I knew victory was ours.”

The team vowed to carry on, under the leadership of Teddy Mayer, and a replacement chassis—M8D/3— was quickly built up to replace the crashed car. Bruce’s close friend and sometime teammate Dan Gurney was recruited as Denny Hulme’s partner in the grieving team’s effort to carry on winning in Bruce’s honor. Gurney duly put M8D/3 on pole at Mosport, ahead of Hulme, and went on to win the race. It was a hugely significant victory for the team, as it convinced everyone that they could and should continue without Bruce. Gurney also drove the car at Saint-Jovite (another pole and win) and Watkins Glen (where he was again on the front row) before Peter Gethin stepped in for the remaining seven races of the 1970 season.

didn’t crunch it.” Le Mans in 1959 was basically a battle between Aston, fresh off a win at the Nürburgring 1000 km, with four DBR1s on the one hand, and on the other, six Ferrari 250 Testa Rossas led by the 1958 Le Mans winners, Phil Hill and Olivier Gendebien. The Aston team, managed by the legendary John Wyer, sent Stirling Moss out as a “hare” in one of the DBR1s to tempt the Ferraris at the 4 p.m. start, but that only lasted a little over an hour. One of the Astons was finished in an accident as the sun was setting. Around 10 p.m. the Stirling Moss/Jack Fairman Aston was out. Accidents and mechanical woes were so frequent that by midnight more than half the 54 starters were parked, but those various retirements put the Shelby/Salvadori Aston in the lead. Then around 2 a.m., they had a 10-minute pit stop. Shelby explained: “Salvadori came in and we couldn’t see anything. He went around again, came in and said, ‘I got a big vibration.’ They took the wheel off and found a big chunk of tread in the wheel well that threw the whole thing out of balance.” Now the Ferrari of Hill/Gendebien took the lead. By 11 a.m. they were ahead by three laps, but their car soon suffered a seized engine and was out after 263 laps. With that, the last of the big Ferraris was out; the Aston team had a 1-2 lead and backed off—time to conserve. “You’re sitting there,” Shelby recalled, “you’ve slowed back down to 5,500 rpm. It’s like, ‘Oh God, hold it together.’ The only thing you’re conscious of is don’t screw up, don’t lose your concentration.” At the 4 p.m. finish, Shelby/Salvadori were a lap up on the second-place DBR1 of Paul Frère/Maurice Trintignant. Ferraris finished 3-4-5-6, but they were various GT Trintignant. Only 13 cars completed the 24 hours. Shelby, who took the checkered flag, laughed when he told us about David Brown’s celebration: “Brown had

ACURA ACURA’S RACING LEGACY began 33 years ago, when the marque was founded as a performance brand. Monterey Car Week, with its focus on performance and racing, provides a unique opportunity to debut and celebrate Acura products and Acura Motorsports. Acura kicked off its current pinnacle motorsports effort at the 2017 Monterey Car Week when debuting the purpose-built Acura ARX-05 Daytona Prototype International (DPi) and announcing it would reenter American prototype sports car racing. For its inaugural 2018 season, Acura campaigned two ARX-05 race cars with Team Penske and full-season drivers Helio
Castroneves, Ricky Taylor, Juan Pablo Montoya and Dane Cameron. First-season highlights included a win for Castroneves and Taylor at the Acura Sports Car Challenge at Mid-Ohio plus four additional podium finishes. Acura Team Penske launched their 2019 season with a podium finish by Castroneves, Taylor and Alexander Rossi at the seasonopening 24 Hours of Daytona, followed by two podiums at the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach, a strong showing for Acura’s new sponsorship of America’s most iconic street race. Then, at Mid-Ohio, Montoya and Cameron repeated their teammates’ previous year’s winning performance. The pair also scored their second consecutive win at the

Detroit Grand Prix, with Castroneves and Taylor finishing third. To participate in the 2017 season of the production-based GTD class, Acura debuted the NSX GT3, based on its NSX supercar, to tackle some of the world’s most iconic GT races, including the 24 Hours of Daytona and Spa, the 12 Hours of Sebring, Petit Le Mans and the FIA GT World Cup in Macau. Campaigned by Meyer Shank Racing in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship’s GTD division and RealTime Racing in the SCCA Pirelli World Challenge, the NSX GT3 is a proven race winner and a main contender for the 2019 IMSA GTD division driver, team and manufacturer titles. RealTime Racing recorded its first win at the Utah Motorsports Campus with Peter Kox and Mark Wilkins in 2017, while Meyer Shank Racing’s first win—and the first worldwide for the NSX GT3—came with drivers Andy Lally and Katherine Legge at the 2017 Detroit Sports Car Classic, which Legge repeated in 2018 with new co-driver Mario Farnbacher. For the 2019 IMSA season, Meyer Shank Racing partnered with Heinricher Racing and Caterpillar to campaign an all-star female lineup headed by Legge, driving the new NSX GT3 Evo. Legge’s MSR teammates, Trent Hindman and Farnbacher, took second place at the Acura Sports Car Challenge at Mid-Ohio and currently lead the IMSA GTD championship. Acura also returned to GT sprint racing in the 2019 SRO Blancpain GT World Challenge America series, with Dane Cameron and Bret Curtis winning the Pro/Am class at Virginia International Raceway.

AUDI OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS, Audi Sport has introduced nearly a dozen new models into the U.S. marketplace, including the RS 5 Coupe and Sportback and the new 2020 R8. Future Audi Sport derivatives will continue to carry the Audi Sport brand forward as the embodiment of Audi’s racing DNA. Audi Sport brings motorsport heritage to the forefront of the vehicle lineup, inspiring customers with the spirit of performance. With a complete lineup of vehicles available for highway enthusiasts or weekend track stars, Audi Sport is up for the challenge.
GT3 I The R8 LMS GT3 might be best known for competing in famed endurance races such as the 24 Hours of Daytona, winning the race in 2013 and 2016. New for 2019 is the updated Evo version of the GT3 with improved aerodynamics, transmission, suspension and other hardware components making an already competitive car even more menacing. This year the R8 LMS GT3 Evo has already won two 24-hour endurance races at Dubai, U.A.E., and in June at the famous Nürburgring in Germany.
I The R8 LMS GT4 is the closest relative to the road-going R8 sharing 60 percent of its parts and was the inspiration behind the ultra-limited R8 Competition edition that was released in late 2018. During its first year of competition in 2018, the GT4 captured multiple team, driver and manufacturer championships in the SRO America and IMSA racing series. GT4
Audi Sport Customer Racing Audi Sport customer racing lives the “born on the track” aspect of our mantra as the only manufacturer with vehicle offerings in three distinct classes. Professional and amateur racing drivers alike appreciate the quality and support of a true sports car designed to endure the challenges a full racing season presents. These vehicles compete in both IMSA- and SRO-sanctioned races, having won championships in each class they’ve competed.
RS 3 I The RS 3 LMS competes in the TCR class and has been dominating the field since breaking into the scene in 2017. Calling
the RS 3 LMS an entry-level model is doing it a disservice. Offered in both DSG and Sequential gearboxes, the RS 3 LMS offers the best bang for your buck and is possibly the easiest way to get into professional racing with a turnkey solution.
I All new for 2020 is the R8 LMS GT2. This sports car is the most powerful vehicle in our customer racing lineup with 640 horsepower and will compete in the new GT2 class. The GT2 class, which launches in 2020, will fill the gap between the existing GT3 and GT4 categories and addresses the demands of gentlemen drivers who have been the backbone of GT racing for decades. The R8 LMS GT2 is the ideal sports cars for race series, track days and race-resort country clubs. All four of these vehicles represent the pinnacle of racing technology that Audi has proven time and time again on the track. Whether looking to get into professional racing, enjoy weekends at the track or compete on a global scale, Audi Sport customer racing has a vehicle to fit every need. GT2

CADILLAC FIFTEEN YEARS AGO, Cadillac took a major leap by debuting the V-Series, which established a legacy of athletic, distinctive and luxurious American performance sedans. Building on those 15 years of driving credentials, Cadillac recently introduced the first-ever CT4-V and CT5-V, scheduled to hit dealerships early next year. In addition to the 2019 CT6-V, these vehicles grow the V-Series family with even more performance capabilities, while preserving the lineage established by the original V-Series lineup introduced in 2004. From the very beginning, Cadillac’s V-Series represented the ultimate expression of design, technology and driving dynamics. It introduced an entirely new breed of performance-minded customers to Cadillac showrooms and helped transform the brand’s traditional image into one with different facets for customers’ varying tastes. The scope of what Cadillac could offer evolved from the original V-Series lineup into today’s strategy, where design and performance distinctions are tailored for customers’ preferences for traditional luxury or sport-oriented looks. The V-Series is intended for sport-minded customers,
offering enhanced performance capabilities. The CT4-V and CT5-V will bring even more customers into the V-Series family, as they represent a new level of elevated driving between Cadillac’s Sport models and the ultimate, high-performance track-capable vehicles, which were teased at the 2019 Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix presented by Lear. The first-ever CT4 and CT5 are part of Cadillac’s realigned sedan portfolio, characterized by new proportions, innovative technologies and more appearance choices. Each is built on Cadillac’s award-winning rear-wheel-drive Alpha architecture, with the
V-Series models developed to deliver the ultimate blend of presence and road-going refinement. Both vehicles share the latest standard V-Series driving technologies, including Magnetic Ride Control 4.0, which is tuned specifically for V models to enhance comfort without sacrificing performance-oriented responsiveness, and drive modes that include new V-Mode personalization. Each model is available in RWD or AWD and features a 10-speed automatic transmission, Brembo front brakes with eBoost electronic assist and a limited-slip rear differential on CT4-V and electronic limited-slip differential on CT5-V. Cadillac’s exclusive Super Cruise, the first true hands-free driver assistance feature for the freeway, is available on nearly 200,000 miles of compatible highways in the U.S. and Canada. It will be available on both new V-Series models. The expansion of Super Cruise across the Cadillac lineup reinforces the brand’s commitment to bringing the most innovative technologies to its customers. Even after 15 years, this is only the beginning of the V family. Cadillac’s passion for performance shines on both the street and the race track. Stay tuned.

CHEVROLET FOR MORE THAN 65 years, the Chevrolet Corvette has stood alone as America’s sports car. And for the last two decades, Corvette Racing has helped push the development, performance and popularity of Chevrolet’s top-line performance automobile on race tracks around the world. It’s the hallmark of North American endurance racing’s longest-running factory effort as the calendar turns to 2019 and the start of Corvette Racing’s third decade. Corvette Racing owns one of sports car racing’s top pedigrees with victories in the biggest events and at the most famous tracks around the world. It also represents the highest level of technology transfer between racing and the showroom with an increasing number of common elements as the years have progressed. “With the Corvette Racing program, we are able to race what we sell in one of the most extreme environments in all of motorsports,” said Mark Kent, Director of Motorsports Competition, Chevrolet Racing. “Competing in events like the 24 Hours of Le Mans and throughout IMSA serves two purposes. One is that it allows us to show the efficiency, reliability and ingenuity of the Chevrolet Corvette. Secondly, we develop technologies through racing that carry over to
our production vehicles in order to make the safest and most advanced Corvettes for our customers.” The 2018 season marked the 62nd anniversary of the Corvette’s first professional race. Its competition debut as a factory effort came at the 12 Hours of Sebring in 1956 with five Corvettes. In 1960, the Corvette brand raced for the first time at the 24 Hours of Le Mans with Briggs Cunningham entering three Corvettes in the French classic. It marked the Corvette’s transition to an international icon. The modern era of Corvette competition began in 1999, with the debut of the Corvette Racing team—a partnership between Chevrolet and Pratt & Miller Engineering, which builds the race cars and operates the program for Chevy Racing. Since that time, Corvette Racing has accumulated 107 victories around the world— more than any other entrant in IMSA history. Among those are eight wins at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, three at the Rolex 24 At Daytona and 11 at the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring. From 1999 to 2013, Corvette Racing led the American Le Mans Series (ALMS) in all-time victories and 1-2 finishes. It also won
an ALMS-best 10 Team championships, 10 Manufacturer titles for Chevrolet and nine Driver championships. During those years, the Corvettes competing on the track and those available at Chevrolet dealerships became more closely related, with racing elements adapted to make better road cars. The best and most recent example is the 2019 Corvette C7.R race car and the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 production car, which share a common aluminum frame, similar aerodynamic strategies, engine technologies and even tire construction. For 2019, Corvette Racing once again is campaigning two Chevrolet Corvette C7.Rs across two continents. The team is looking to successfully defend its GT Le Mans Driver and Team titles in the full IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship.

FORD IN 1966, Ford Motor Company and Shelby American had their revenge on Ferrari when the MKII Ford GT swept the podium at Le Mans. After a demoralizing defeat in 1965, Ford and Shelby reworked the Ford GT (called the GT40 by the media) with new aerodynamics and, most importantly, the mighty 427 CID big-block engine. In “Le Mans” configuration, the NASCAR-proven engine powered Ford to victory and broke Ferrari’s stranglehold on the most important sports car race in the world. “Ford and Shelby poured their intellect into creating the fastest, most advanced car in their history for the 1966 race,” said Dave Pericak, Ford EPLM Director – Icons. “Every aspect of the car, from aero to the engine, braking system and chassis were improved. It was an amazing feat that thrust Ford onto the international stage in a new and meaningful way. It signaled a new competitiveness by Ford and America.” After coming in 1-2-3 at the 1966 race, Ford and Shelby began working on an entirely new Ford GT for the 1967 season; it was still powered by the 427 big block. Based on that expertise, and racing success, Shelby and Ford elected to transfer some of their championship technology into a flagship high-performance street car. “Carroll believed in leveraging lessons

learned from racing to build even better street cars,” explained Aaron Shelby, board member of Carroll Shelby International. “His street Shelby Cobras and GT350s benefited greatly from experience gleaned while taking the 1965 FIA World Championship. So it was natural for him and Ford to transfer Le Mans-winning technology to their next street car.” For the 1967 model year, Ford and Shelby added a new model, the GT500. Built by Shelby American in Southern California, the initial idea was to offer a 427 big block in the car. However, Ford was replacing that engine with an all-new

428 CID motor. So Shelby and Ford applied lessons learned from Le Mans to maximize the performance of that engine. In fact, early advertisements for the Shelby GT500 touted the car’s “brand new Cobra LeMans dual 4-barrel engine, developed from the V-8 that powered the 1966 LeMans winners (sic).” The 1967 Ford Shelby GT500 was a huge success. Five decades later, it is still one of the most iconic cars in history. One 1967 Shelby GT500 was actually equipped with a 427 GT40 racing engine producing 650 horsepower. Known as the “Super Snake,” the car hit over 170 mph during a demonstration by Shelby himself of Goodyear’s Thunderbolt tires. Fast-forward 53 years later and Ford has returned to Le Mans with the all-new Ford GT. And Ford is once again taking lessons learned from the class-winning car to make the newest Shelby GT500 one of the most advanced sports cars in the world. New lightweight materials, chassis tuning processes, engine management systems and aerodynamic advancements were poured into the Shelby GT500. The Ford GT’s robust dualclutch transmission technology even blazed a trail for the lightning-fast DCT that will help propel the 2020 Shelby GT500. “A passion for racing led to the establishment of Ford Motor Company over a century ago,” added Pericak. “The link between the Le Mans-winning Ford GT and the Shelby GT500 50 years after the first time they shared technology demonstrates our strong commitment to using competition to improve every vehicle we make.” —Scott Black
AUTOMOTIVE ALLEY
JAGUAR LAND ROVER
C RE D I T
THIS YEAR, Automotive Alley will play host to a variety of diverse new vehicles from Jaguar and Land Rover, showcasing the latest in performance, luxury and technology. Jaguar Land Rover will showcase a range of its new performance vehicles, models from both brands’ lineups that are grounded in power and luxury. Developed by the Jaguar Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations (SVO) division, SVR variants of the Jaguar F-PACE SUV and F-TYPE sports car as well as of theRange Range Rover will be on display, Rover VelarSport SVAutobiography Dynamic Edition representing the pinnacle of performance and taking existing vehicles to new levels of power, handling and speed. Land Rover will also show its newest SVO product, the Range Rover Velar SVAutobiography Dynamic Edition, the most powerful Range Rover Velar ever. In addition, following the season close of the inaugural Jaguar I-PACE eTROPHY series, visitors will be able to view the I-PACE eTROPHY race car that was designed, engineered and built by SVO. The Jaguar brand’s performance heritage carries over to its first battery electric vehicle, the Jaguar I-PACE, which offers instant torque in a sustainable package and was named 2019 World Car of the Year, World Car Design of the Year and World Green Car
of the Year earlier this year at the New York International Auto Show. Designed and developed in the UK, the Jaguar I-PACE is attracting new customers to the Jaguar brand, for many of whom it will also be their first EV. To date, thousands of customers in more than 60 countries worldwide have taken delivery. Its combination of sports car performance, zero emissions, exceptional refinement and true SUV practicality make the I-PACE the standout electric vehicle. The I-PACE underscores the Jaguar brand’s dedication to innovation and features an intuitive high-definition dual-screen infotainment system, Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, and capability to receive Software Over The Air updates remotely—all standard. The vehicle’s bold proportions are a direct result of the advanced electric architecture that underpins the vehicle and the sleek cabforward profile of the I-PACE is a natural progression of the distinctive design language of the Jaguar brand. Featuring a
90 kilowatt-hour battery powering Jaguardesigned electric motors at the front and rear axles, the I-PACE delivers an EPA-estimated range of up to 234 miles and 0-60 mph acceleration in as little as 4.5 seconds. Fans will also have the chance to experience the full lineup of Land Rover vehicles on a purpose-built off-road course. Nestled between Turns 3 and 4 of the race track, guests can explore the capability of their favorite British SUV brand by getting behind the wheel of the Range Rover Evoque, Range Rover Velar, Range Rover Sport and Range Rover—as well as the Discovery and Discovery Sport. Participants can drive or ride with an expert, navigating steep hills, off-camber turns, side tilts and obstacles. Follow the conversation @JaguarUSA and @LandRoverUSA.

that continues to this day. On average, more than 30 Porsche race cars will compete in IMSA’s top-tier race series on any given race weekend. The German brand currently has championship contenders in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship’s GTLM class with the factory 911 RSR and the GTD class with the Porsche 911 GT3 R customer programs. The Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport is a proven winner in IMSA’s Michelin Pilot Challenge, and the onemake Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge USA and Canada series bring customer 911 GT3 Cup cars to the track. No other automaker has that level of participation or variety of platforms. From humble beginnings with the Porsche 914 and early 911 race cars, and later with the mighty 935s and the 962 prototypes created specifically for IMSA competition, Porsche motorsport in North America flourished as IMSA continued to develop as a race organization. During the 1970s and ’80s, the height of the IMSA Camel GT days, Porsche 911s, 935s and 962s compiled a mindbending 334 victories. In the American Le Mans Series (ALMS), variants of the GT-class 911 and the RS Spyder prototype added a record 115 race titles while in Grand-Am, the 911, Cayman and various Porsche-powered Daytona Prototypes added 85 wins to the IMSA total. A final 10 race victories were
2019 R O L E X M O N T E R E Y M O T O R S P O R T S R E U N I O N
captured during the limited United States Road Racing Championship seasons. Beyond the venerable 962, other Porsche models have been built specifically for the IMSA market. Chief among those are the popular and championship-winning LMP2class RS Spyder prototype machines, which competed in the ALMS in the mid-2000s, compiling 27 class wins. When the rules allowed for a fair battle with the heavier, more powerful LMP1 entries, the “Giant Killing” RS Spyders won 13 events overall. Much of the brand’s success on this continent has come since the inception of Porsche Motorsport North America (PMNA) in 1985. The Southern California group has been a driving force in innovation for Porsche worldwide. Ultimately, PMNA’s legacy will lay with its customers. PMNA has produced one of the most comprehensive customer-assistance programs in modern motorsport to aid teams and drivers at the track. Uniting the customer and race car with proper attention trackside has set PMNA apart. The customer no longer races a Porsche, they race with Porsche. The same could be said of IMSA. Many questions exist for the next 50 years of the automotive industry and motorsport. However, when the day comes, one can expect to see the Porsche 911 on a race track celebrating the 100th anniversary of IMSA. a
C RE D I T
OVER THE PAST 50 YEARS, Porsche and IMSA have driven sports car racing to unprecedented heights. Only Porsche has teamed with the Daytona Beach, Florida, sanctioning body for every IMSA sports car race. No other marque has helped push the growth of North America’s premier road-racing event organizer throughout five decades, and no two brands are more closely linked throughout their shared history as Porsche and IMSA. They are two icons with a common culture of success. When the Bill France Sr. and John Bishopfounded race series held its first GT season in 1971, it was a Porsche, at the hands of the now-famous Brumos racing drivers Peter Gregg and young co-driver Hurley Haywood, who won the first five races of the six-race season. The orange No. 59 Porsche 914 commanded the GTU class in that inaugural season, giving IMSA’s first sports car title to Porsche. The die was cast. Porsche and IMSA have grown side by side in stature and prominence in the world of motorsports with each race since. Since that first IMSA GT race, Porsche has earned 569 victories (class and overall) in IMSA competition, more than twice the number of any other manufacturer. With such an incredible tally, it is easy to see how Porsche and IMSA share a rich, storied history
Porsche has tamed Daytona from its early beginnings.

An icon in a world of icons. Fashions, trends, styles. They come—and go and are often short-lived. The 911 is a sports car icon that has lost none of its fascination with time. Since 1963, we have worked every day to further perfect the ‘911’. And we’ve never been closer to reaching this goal. The new Porsche 911 is the sum of its predecessors—and is therefore a reflection of the past and a vision of the future.
The new Porsche 911. Timeless Machine.

THE BEST SE AT AT IMSA The lead car always has the best view, and more and more often, that car is the NSX GT3 Evo. It’s a feat made possible by such a powerful production car that its chassis and engine went straight into the GT3 Evo. With shared technology, whether you purchase your own race car or the street-legal NSX, you’ll enjoy the same driver-centric exhilaration.
