Motul Course de Monterey
The Course de Monterey is a sports car race held annually at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca by the International [Motor Sports Association]. The event began in 1950 as a race on the roads of Pebble Beach, California. In 1951, it was added to the new SCCA [National Sports Car Championship]. When Laguna Seca Raceway was built in 1957, the races moved there. The event fell dormant after the National Championship was discontinued in 1957, but was revived by the SCCA's new United States [Road Racing Championship] in 1963. The race fell dormant again in 1969, and was revived in 1973 with the IMSA GT Championship.
Between 1999 and 2013 the event was a part of the American [Le Mans Series], until the series merged with the Rolex [Sports Car Series] in 2014 to form the United SportsCar Championship.
