During the annual car week, there are numerous events on the Monterey Peninsula and today, we take a detailed look at one of our absolute favourites; The Quail, a Motorsports Gathering. Held for the fifteenth time this year, it is a concours d'elegance with a twist: the entrants are also the judges and all visitors are treated to fine food from around the world. Among the features this year was Ferrari's 70th anniversary and there was also a special class for mid-engined marvels. In addition to the classic sports and racing cars, there was also a lot of real estate for contemporary manufacturers. They brought several (world) debuts like the new Acura ARX-05 DPi car, unveiled by Roger Penske himself, the very retro Infiniti Prototype 9 and the latest creation from brilliant Japanese designer Ken Okuyama. On the eve of 'The Quail', Peninsula Hotels also announced the 'Best of the Best' for which only the winning cars from the world's major concours d'elegance are eligible.
As always, our photographers were at 'The Quail' from the break of dawn and have returned with a concise report, illustrated by this 170-shot gallery of this year's Motorsports Gathering.
