New Concours Virtual website goes live

From 30 June 2020 to 9 August 2020, Concours Virtual Presented by Hagerty will show off some of the greatest cars ever made via a new online Virtual Concours. The Concours Website already provides details on the 17 concours classes, and the sponsors and the commercial partners already involved, with the aim of raising $156,400 for UNICEF.

The online Concours seeks to show cars which would otherwise have been appearing in prestigious Concours d'Elegance events around the world were it not for the COVID-19 pandemic.

Instead, these cars, from the early 1900s to the present day, will star on the website and social media of Concours Virtual, to be judged by an all-star team of more than 40 expert motoring personalities.

Judges include Pink Floyd Drummer Nick Mason, five-times Le Mans Winner Derek Bell, Chasing Classic Cars TV Star Wayne Carini, Goodwood Festival of Speed and Revival Founder The Duke of Richmond, Fifth Gear TV Presenter Vicki Butler-Henderson, Aston Martin Design Director Marek Reichman, modified Porsche Guru Magnus Walker and Harry's Garage YouTuber Harry Metcalfe.

The Concours Virtual website is available here and includes a link to the Unicef JustGiving page, which seeks to raise money to help children affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Donations can be made here. Eligible cars can be entered during the month of June via the website, with more details at the Concours Virtual website. Members of the public will be able to vote for their favourite cars in each class starting from 30 June 2020, while the overall Best in Show winner will be announced on 9 August 2020.
