Concours D'Elegance
A concours is a judged event where cars are prepared to “as delivered” condition. Points are deducted from a maximum possible value based on condition and cleanliness. Various concours rules are used depending on the level of competition.
In simple terms, a Concours is a car show. The idea is to show your car in its most perfect condition (usually cleanliness and like new condition.) In general, each car starts out perfect and as the judge finds something amiss, points are deducted.
Gold Coast holds at least two Concours events each year that are designed to be more of a social event than a serious Full preparation Concours every aspect of your car will be examined: interior, exterior, trunk, engine, and under chassis - front and rear. They’ll look at everything, from your spare tools to the jack. Nothing will go untouched.
We leave that up to the annual Porsche Parade where several of our members are judges.
We do use these judges at our events to help members that would like to get to the Parade level. For our events we usually look at exterior only and set it up where you compete with cars in the same decade as your car.
