Monterey Car Week has grown into one of the must attend events for auto enthusiasts. For BMW fans, the place to be is at the Legends of the Autobahn and the Festorics corral at Turn 5 of Laguna Seca during the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion.
August 14, 2015: Legends of the Autobahn
Held at the prestigious Nicklaus Club Monterey during Monterey, California’s famed Pebble Beach Concours week, Legends is a result of the combined efforts of the BMW CCA, the Mercedes—Benz Club of America, and the Audi Club of America Legends has grown immeasurably since its transition from a car corral to a fully—fledged show, corral, and clean car contest, and for the past two years has drawn over 400 cars and over 3,000 spectators.
Legends features both corral and judged areas, awards for all three featured marques, and an open class for all other German—made cars. The show also features a vendor and sponsor area, a VIP lunch, an available breakfast, and several new BMW models, as well as historically significant cars from the BMW USA Classic collection.

August 14–16, 2015: Festorics Turn Five Corral and Hospitality Area at the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion
This car corral at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca offers both two—day trackside parking alongside other BMW enthusiasts, as well as an excellent venue from which to watch the legendary races of the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion. Available packages include the opportunity to buy corral ticket, lunch tickets, and event tickets to the Motorsports Reunion races themselves. The Festorics Kickoff Dinner is on Friday, August 14, following Legends Of The Autobahn at the nearby Nicklaus Club Monterey, and marks the beginning of a weekend of exciting trackside action at one of the closest viewing points around Laguna Seca.
The new Festorics website is currently under construction and will be unveiled soon.—Nate Risch
