I have driven up from LA and also flown in from East Coast it is easiest with a car of some sort I'm certain , navigating the peninsula without seems daunting
at best .
there are accommodations to be had , pricey or cheap your pic , if in Monterey or Carmel proper there is the gamut but some prefer the cheaper end of the spectrum and Seaside or Salinas up the 101 are plenty of cheap( inexpensive ) nightly motels .
i almost always get the track tix upon arrival but they can be bought earlier for will call I believe , but you would have to come in through the main gate ..
( not always the easiest means of entry )
ie: main gate can be shut down on race day to direct entrants to various parking areas
Its a fun time with plenty to see , be prepared to walk it tends to be relatively spread out ..Bert

Nice looking cars! Been to Rennsport a couple times (2011 and 2015). In 2011, I parked in the general Porsche parking area in the grass. 2015, got corral parking. Are you flying in and renting a car or shipping your cars in?
- Book your accommodation early. Last time we stayed in Pacific Grove (not too pricey) which was a short drive to the Monterey town center and about 30mins to the track as onceover said.
- +1 on corral parking. Shorter walk to all the action.
- Lots of walking as mentioned already. I'd recommend walking around the track to figure out what your favorite spot is for the races. Walking around the pits is like being at the Porsche museum.
- Check out Vivolo's Chowder House one night. Tasty food.
With a group of seven, I think airbnb will be your best bet as you'll most likely be able to find a larger house with enough beds. Most attending only need a one or two bedroom rental so availability will be better for a large house. Carmel Valley is a great location for both the track and proximity to Carmel & Monterey.
Uber is quite good on the peninsula, though I'd recommend renting a couple of cars.
Based on recommendations we took a large Air BnB house in Pacific Grove and all bought the corral tickets. Now to sort out transport and work out what to do with the five days after Rennsport.
