Four hundred fifty entries have been accepted for the 36th
Rolex Replica Monterey Historic Automobile Races, one of vintage motorsport’s most revered racing traditions, August 14-16 at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.
Porsche, this year's marquee, will be represented by 145 vechicles, further adding live-action perspective on the company’s storied racing heritage.
This year marks the 40th anniversary of the iconic Porsche 917, and fittingly, four 917Ks will take to the track. Three of those are re-uniting from the Gulf Wyer Team,

(Elford also was behind the wheel of the 917 for the high speed scenes in the Steve McQueen film “Le Mans.”)
“The Porsche 917K was the greatest race car of all time” said Elford, noting that the “K” denoted aerodynamic modifications made for the 1970 24 Hours of Le Mans, helping to give Porsche its first overall victory in that race, followed by another win in 1971. It incorporated Porsche’s revolutionary flat 12-
Hydraulic cylinder engine. The long-tailed version could go 0-62 mph in 2.7 seconds and reach top speeds of over 240 mph.
