Amazing moments & memories happen when visiting Monterey, CA for car events -- a nucleus of common-minded enthusiasts not found at the same time anywhere else.
The following is a Porsche press release. I asked someone who may have personal experiences with its content to consider sharing RRV memories here, with emphasis on the 'reunion' aspect.
Hans-Joachim Stuck’s favourite car at the Rennsport Reunion was one of the few that fans did not get the chance to admire on the Laguna Seca circuit. The Porsche 962 in which he won the Sebring 12-hour race with Bob Akin and Jo Gartner in 1986 is just being rebuilt. “That victory was one of the milestones of my career,” he said and was obviously impressed by the great atmosphere and enthusiasm at the Rennsport Reunion. “The cars you see here are just amazing. They’re all in incredible condition. And the best thing is that I’ve contested races in many of them.”
This is the first time Hans-Joachim Stuck has attended the Rennsport Reunion. “I’d received invitations before but somehow it always coincided with a race weekend. If I’d known just how fantastic this event was I would have immediately cancelled all the other commitments and come straight here.”
The only Porsche racing legend who attended all 5 Rennsport Reunions between 2001 and 2015 is Hurley Haywood.
This year he joined Jacky Ickx to serve as co-Grand Marshals for the event.
