2005 Monterey Preview

The Pebble Beach auto racing weekend is now much greater than anyone could have envisaged when California’s Monterey Peninsula community began this journey. Originally a race and low-key concours boasting European style racing cars, it has now evolved into what is known as Monterey Car Week.

For well-heeled gearheads, this is a Motoring Mecca. Ten days before the automotive celebration culminated with the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, time trials began at Laguna Seca for the Monterey Historics racing. This is one of the few places where grease under your nails is accepted attire.
