Join the RAC’s Concours event

The Royal Automobile Club is inviting Guild members with suitable cars to join the club at its Concours event on 9th July.

The Concours, held at the Woodcote Park clubhouse in Epsom, Surrey, is not a public event, historically only open to club members and their guests, but for the first time certain motoring organisations are being invited to attend and the RAC has selected the Guild as an organisation “that will perfectly complement the day’s proceedings with a select display of cars.”

Tickets cost £50 and can be ordered here, entering a code at checkout. This code can be obtained from the Guild General Secretary and the RAC emphasises that the code is specific to members – it should not be distributed to any other person.

The RAC adds that the Club Concours itself will feature more than 50 of the world’s finest cars, all carefully curated. Distinctive categories include cars under the groupings of Grand Tourers, Riviera, Coachbuilder’s Art, Limousines and the Mille Miglia, with a further category for pioneering London to Brighton veteran cars, and another celebrating the finest of motorcycles.

An independent panel of expert and influential concours judges will select the category winners, with trophies awarded to Category Winners, and the prestigious Best in Show. In addition a ‘People’s Choice’ will acknowledge the biggest crowd-puller.

Woodcote’s 350-acre estate of lawns, terraces and parkland will also host a wide variety of other features and displays including 75 years of Formula 1, 75 years of British motoring greats, 100 years of the Rolls-Royce Phantom, 120 years of the Tourist Trophy and the 125th anniversary of the Club-organised 1000 Mile Trial.

There will also be live music and interviews with key figures in the historic car world, and plenty of space to relax with a refreshing drink and food prepared by Woodcote’s chefs.
