The 2025 Monterey Motorsports Reunion will also be celebrating the 75th anniversary of Formula 1 and feature a host of F1 cars from past and present. A special display is created behind Turn 3 to showcase the F1 cars.

As part of the celebration, McLaren decided to bring three significant cars from its F1 history to the Monterey reunion. One of these was the 1984 McLaren MP4/2 driven by F1 legend Niki Lauda, with which he won McLaren’s 3rd drivers’ and 2nd constructors' title.

Brown has been participating in the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion for a long time now, and speaking about the opportunity to drive Niki Lauda's car, he said,

“It’s fantastic to be back at the Monterey Motorsports Reunion, it’s one of my favorite events of the year and it’s an honor to get behind the wheel of Lauda’s MP4/2, a car the team were so successful in. I’m looking forward to being part of the Formula 1 anniversary celebrations.” (via WeatherTech Raceway)
