We are honoured that the concours will feature a group for our Del Monte Trophy Race Group cars and those that raced at the Pebble Beach Road Races. Exciting prospect for August 2026.Pebble Beach Concours, Monterey, CA – August 16, 2026″Amidst its 75th celebration, the 2026 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance will pay tribute to its historic roots in road racing. The first Pebble Beach Road Race took place in November 1950, and the first Pebble Beach Concours was held in tandem with it; Concours cars were shown and judged in a field near the tennis courts and then paraded down the start-finish straight of the racecourse.

Racing continued in Del Monte Forest through 1956, and a multitude of top racers and constructors took part, including Phil Hill, Carroll Shelby, Ken Miles, Richie Ginther, Bill Pollack and Phil Remington, along with celebrities such as Jackie Cooper. Ultimately the winding, tree-lined course proved too dangerous for increasing speeds, so a purpose-built circuit was carved from a nearby dry lake—“Laguna Seca.” Our celebration will showcase the evolution of sporting cars that raced in the forest in the early 1950s, pairing top models from auto manufacturers with some of the most iconic one-off specials.
