Next summer’s Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion has been scheduled for August 13-16, 2015 at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, and the race groups have been announced as listed following. Noteworthy is a category for Formula 5000 cars, the first time these thunderous open-wheelers have ever been invited to the Reunion in its 40-year history. The entry request process—conducted exclusively online at www.MazdaRaceway.com—continues through January 31, 2015.
