History takes the wheel as the 34th Rolex Monterey Historic Automobile Races gears up for its inaugural Race of Legends at Laguna Seca Raceway on Saturday, August 18. Presented by Toyota, the Race of Legends charity event pits nine legendary drivers in an eight-lap wheel-to-wheel competition using 215-horsepower supercharged Scion tC sport coupes.
The driver roster of Formula One, CART, Indy 500 and 24 Hours of Le Mans champions includes Bobby Unser, Al Unser Sr., Johnny Rutherford, Bobby Rahal, Parnelli Jones, Emerson Fittipaldi, Vic Elford, Derek Bell and Ove Andersson.
"This is a fun competition where we will award $25,000 in prize money to the winner's selected charity," explains Keith Dahl, national manager of engagement for Toyota Motor Sales USA. "The drivers are approaching this race in a competitive, yet friendly spirit. However, with all of them being past champions you're sure to see an entertaining competition en route to the checkered flag."
