The week kicks off on Wednesday, Aug. 12, with MotorTrend Group's very own Top Gear America premiere, a reboot of the popular series that includes Automobile regular Jethro Bovingdon as a host. Other Wednesday events include a live Bring a Trailer auction, a new BMW vehicle launch, and the traditional McCall's Motorworks Revival, an event that is typically the first major gathering of Monterey Car Week.
On Thursday, Aug. 13, Chevy Corvette chief Tadge Juechter will talk all things C8 Corvette, while a bevy of other shows and events will be available to watch. On Friday, Aug. 14, HRE Wheels will give you a tour of its operations, the traditional Legends of the Autobahn show will be held virtually, BMW and Koenigsegg will have presentations, and a new Gunther Werks-tuned Porsche will debut at The Quail, also held virtually this year. Friday also kicks off two legacy auctions, the Bonhams and RM Sotheby's sales.
Over the weekend, tune in for highlights from the previous Sonoma Festival of Speed, a vintage racing event at the historic Sonoma Raceway (better known as Sears Point to long-time locals). Saturday also brings pre-recorded vintage racing action from Weathertech Raceway Laguna Seca, and a virtual Concorso Italiano, Monterey Car Week's all-Italian car show. On Sunday, our friends at MotorTrend will look back on last year's Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance with highlights from the show, Ford will unveil a new vehicle, and the Petersen Concours will display 100 vehicles spanning nine classes (carefully culled from more than 300 entries) in a unique virtual show. Among the Petersen Concours judges is Wayne Carini, of MotorTrend Network's Chasing Classic Cars program.
The full schedule of events is available below, and be sure to head over to Petersen.org to sign up for notifications. While we all wish we were in Monterey this August with friends new and old, Petersen Car Week is the next best thing. Not having to deal with horrendous traffic and pay inflated hotel rates makes us eager participants this year.
