Season draws to a close
The concours season in Europe has drawn to a close with the final big events of the year the incredible Zoute Concours d’Elegance in Belgium coming hard on the heels of the amazing Chantilly Arts & Elegance near Paris. Both took place in pretty decent weather and I was fortunate enough to be a member of the Jury at both of these fabulous events. However there is still one big concours event to come when the winner of the Concours Event of the Year at the Historic Motoring Awards in London next month is announced. And I am very pleased to share, that my event, the Sydney Harbour Concours d’Elegance https://sydneyharbourconcours.com.au is one of the five finalists. Fingers crossed!
Laguna Seca
I recently returned from Monterey Car Week, and whilst lots of my time was taken up with two fabulous concours events, The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering and the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, I also took the opportunity to go to the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion at the WeatherTech Raceway in Laguna Seca. Hopefully these few images from the corkscrew speak for themselves and provide a flavour of what was a fabulous day’s racing in the Californian sunshine.
All in a good cause
Isn’t it about time we used our classic cars for good rather than evil?
