Participate In The Lime Rock Concours

The Lime Rock Concours ranks among the premier concours d’élégance on the East Coast – and the only one held on a competition circuit in the middle of a race weekend. Each year, the event brings together an exceptional lineup of beautiful and historically significant automobiles in the lush hills of Northwest Connecticut. Vehicles are presented in carefully curated classes and are judged to determine the coveted Best in Show honors.

This year’s event has an emphasis on Alfa Romeo, in line with our Honored Marque for Historic Festival 44.

For collectors and owners considering entering a vehicle, the information below outlines the application process and key details.

At-a-glance:
- Applications close August 19, 2025
- Applications are reviewed and accepted on a rolling basis
- All applicants will be notified by email if their vehicle is accepted
- Accepted entrants will receive an entrant package approximately one week prior to the event

To apply, please complete the submission form below. Vehicles are selected based on the event’s class groupings and the individual qualities and characteristics of each car. The selection committee meets regularly to review submissions through the August 19, 2025 application deadline.

As part of the application, collectors and owners are encouraged to submit two to three photographs, along with a detailed history of the vehicle. This should include ownership history and any significant restoration or mechanical work that contributes to the car’s authenticity and history. This material is used to prepare display information for each car, so a detailed history of the car is helpful.

Vehicles accepted in the Lime Rock Concours are judged on multiple factors, including beauty, technical sophistication, provenance and historical importance. In addition, reflecting Lime Rock Park’s nearly 70-year heritage as a historic racing venue, appropriate consideration is given to utility and function, alongside originality, accuracy, and overall quality. Additional judging details will be included in the entrant package.

Fields marked with an asterisk within the application are required.
