Gathering of the Marques – Presented by FCP Euro
Every year, the Sunday in the Park, Gathering of the Marques displays an incredibly diverse collection of sports, performance, and classic cars, with literally hundreds of cars lining the track, grouped by make, model or country of origin. You’ll see Shelbys and BMWs and Corvettes and Jaguars and MGs… Astons, Rolls-Royces and Lotuses… Porsches, Peugeots and Panteras… Volvos and Saabs, Minis, Mercurys, Mercedes and Mopars, Fiats and Lambos. If it’s an interesting and fun car, you’re probably going to find it on display around the Lime Rock circuit.
This year’s Gathering of the Marques is scheduled for Sunday, September 4th and is generously sponsored by FCP Euro. The event is open to both Car Clubs and individuals, but to ensure that we have sufficient space around the track for all entrants, we’re asking individual participants to pre-register as outlined below so that we can accurately assign places for each group.
