The Course de Monterey is a
sports car race held annually at
WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca by the
International Motor Sports Association (IMSA). 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.
