Concours D'Elegance - Saturday morning

CONCOURS D'ELEGANCE CLASSES

A Concours is a competitive car show to award recognition to the owners of automobiles that are best prepared and presented. There are many Classes, but we break them down into three main groups: “Street”, “Touring One”, and “Touring Two”.

“Street”: This involves the judging of the car's interior and exterior only (no engine, trunk, or undercarriage). Originality is not a consideration, only cleanliness. "Street" is the class for those interested in showing their cars with some preparation, but not HOURS of meticulous cleaning.  Street cars are classified in Preparation Group I and Group II.

“Preparation Group I Touring Group One”: This judging category takes into consideration the interior, exterior, engine, and storage compartments. The judges look for cleanliness, quality of preparation, lack of damage, and presentation.

“Preparation Group Touring II Group Two”: This judging category takes into consideration the interior, exterior, and storage compartments, and applies to newer Porsches where the engine is not readily accessible and not judged.   Note #1: All Preparation Group II classes will not have their engines judged.

Note #2: Categories will be available for all classes in either “T” - TOURING or “S” -

STREET. Replace the “x” in the class designation below with the appropriate category that you will be competing in with your automobile (examples: PP10T (Modified in touring) or PP05S (993 in street).
