Found it...
Porsche Cars North America (PCNA) and Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca today announced the next Porsche Rennsport Reunion will take place at the famed California race track in 2018. The upcoming Family Reunion has been expanded to four days and will be held September 27-30, 2018.
In what has become a tradition, Rennsport Reunion VI will bring together an extraordinary gathering of significant Porsche race cars, as well as those who have designed, engineered, and driven them to victory in the world’s most famous sports car races. Hosted by PCNA, the four-day program of on-track competition will be complemented by a Concours d’Elegance, which is open to invited race participants.
After staging the first three events in the east, with the inaugural at Lime Rock Park in 2001, followed by two events at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida in 2004 and 2007, Rennsport Reunion IV moved west in 2011, tapping into a vast array of west coast car aficionados and Porsche enthusiasts. Returning to a three-year interval, this incomparable event has turned into a world-wide happening.
“Choosing the Monterey Peninsula once again for our unique Porsche family reunion builds upon what we learned from previous Rennsport Reunions,” said Klaus Zellmer, President and CEO of Porsche Cars North America. “We had close to 60,000 fans, enthusiasts and owners come through the gates of Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca to celebrate with us in 2015, and California’s picturesque central coast provides an ideal backdrop. The Golden State as a whole has always been like a second home to Porsche.”
“We are honored to have been selected once again as the host circuit for Porsche Rennsport Reunion,” said Gill Campbell, of Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. “This prestigious event has created a tremendous impact on motorsports around the world in the past and we are eager to bring it back to life again in partnership with Porsche. It is truly the most rewarding event I have ever had the pleasure of being involved in.”
During Porsche Rennsport Reunion V in 2015, over 1,300 Porsche Club of America (PCA) member-owned Porsche models helped fill the show fields, race classes, and parking lots of Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca to overflow capacity. For the upcoming sixth rendition, the PCA will once again play an integral role in the festivities.
Participant registration opens December 1, 2017 through February 28, 2018. Tickets go on sale Wednesday, October 11, 2017.
Additional details and ticket information will be published on the Porsche press website (www.press.porsche.com) and on Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca’s website as they become available.

Looks like I have plans for next year.

Great news! I love visiting the Monterey Peninsula as well as the track and there's nothing that compares with Rennsport. This will be our 4th one and I'm sorry I missed the first two.
This should be on everyone's bucket list!
Posted by: wes Aug 15 2017, 07:26 PM
This is a do not miss event for every person remotely interested in Porsche racing!
I throughly enjoyed the first two and will definitely attend this one. I now wish I hadn't sold the motor home, the very best way to be there inexpensively with like minded others. Hotel motel $$ are completely out of sit for this and many other events of this type.

I would hope that if my car is up and running, I'm there.
Love this stuff.
Posted by: URY914 Aug 15 2017, 07:46 PM
It needs to come back to Daytona.
Posted by: Wyvern Aug 15 2017, 10:43 PM
I have been to every Reunion .... great stuff.
Wonder how 2 events only a month apart hurt attendance. ???
Werks is August and Reunion Sept

For those who are curious about Rensport Reunion, here is a link to my web site which has magazine articles, videos and more about Rennsport 1 through 5 plus the 1998 Monterey Historics where Porsche was the featured marque and the Double 50 held the same year at Watkins Glen.

Ah.......not yet. Talked to a friend at Caltrans the other day. Be really lucky to have the PCH open the whole way yet. The ground is still moving from the big slide this last winter.

Yeah, I was hoping it would.

I'm going. I have my /6 going into a shop on Wednesday and should be driving soon thereafter.
Do we have a meet up spot for our 914s?
Posted by: Montreal914 Aug 26 2018, 09:41 PM
Only thing I'm aware of is Marty's meet.

I'm planning on driving up Thursday, heading east towards the ocean (101 Ventura) and then all the way up on 1.
Top off, 8 hours of pure fun, setting up the mindset for this awesome weekend!

A bunch of us are driving up early Thursday morning from south Orange County. The plan is 405 to the 101 to the 1.
Let’s meet at Ayres Hotel Seal Beach at 6 am.
Ayres Hotel Seal Beach, 12850 Seal Beach Blvd, Seal Beach, CA 90740

You may see me on the road. I'll be in Cambria ~10 -- 11 am.

I'm leaving Phoenix early Thursday morning.
I haven't decided on a route yet. I'm thinking about I10 -> I5 -> 101 or maybe follow Steve's route 405 to the 101 to the 1 along the coast.

I’m thinking we will probably stop at Denny’s in Thousand Oaks for breakfast. Most likely between 7:15-7:30am depending on traffic. It’s right off the 101.

I'll be a few hours behind you. I had to pull a clients @$$ out of the fire which leaves me stuck in Montreal until Wednesday. My flight lands in Phx around 10pm Wednesday and have to get a few hours sleep before the drive. I plan to hit the road around 5am Phx time.

FWIW I may have an extra 3-day Fri/Sat/Sun admission ticket available plus possibly a 4-day as well. Hoping the staff up there will sort out my little mess in-time but they are obviously slammed right now.
Posted by: AZBanks Sep 20 2018, 10:36 AM
One of my boys won't be with me so now I may be driving the 944 Cab.

My son dropped out. A lot going on this year....
In any case wife is going instead.
I'll assume Marty's tent is the rally point for the 914 group.
See everyone there.
