SUNDAY IN THE PARK - The Lime Rock Concours:

The Sunday in the Park - the Lime Rock Concours and Gathering of the Marques is on the Sunday – this year, September 5, 2021 – between the two racing days of each year's Labor Day weekend Historic Festival. No other event in the U.S. combines a first-class concours d’elegance with quality vintage competition on the same property, all on the same weekend. Sunday in the Park is comprised of two features; nearly 200 outstanding entries are on display on the Sam Posey Straight in the Lime Rock Concours, with an additional 500+ cars celebrating the event around the rest of the 1.5 mile track in the Gathering of the Marques enthusiast meet.

The 2021 Sunday in the Park, the Lime Rock Concours will be a superlative show of beauty, elegance and speed, with interesting and diverse classes, in a perfect ambiance.  The cars are grouped by purpose and/or year, not exclusively by make and model.

►The online application for participating in the Concours will be available online soon.

 If you have questions, please contact kelly@limerock.com or call Kelly Deneen at 860.435.5000, ext. 102.

Some notes on the Sunday in the Park judging process:

  • Judging for this year's Sunday in the Park vehicles will be (i) Peer Judging, in which the owners of the vehicles in each class (please see the Class List below) will be given ballots requesting their votes for the best two vehicles in the Class and (ii) a small number of field-wide awards where the winner will be chosen by the award's sponsor (e.g. the Greenwich Concours and Sports Car Market awards) or by Sunday in the Park senior staff.
  • Displays or "automobilia" of interest and other items specific to your vehicle are encouraged.
  • Mechanical condition counts and from time to time, Judges may ask you to ''start-up,'' listening for that distinctive audio track your car makes.

SUNDAY IN THE PARK - GATHERING OF THE MARQUES:

Gathering of the Marques is incredibly diverse; literally hundreds of cars lining the track, grouped by make, model or country of origin. We invite you to bring your Shelby, BMW, Corvette, Jaguars, MGs...Aston, Rolls or Loti..., Porsch, Peugeot or Pantera..., Volvo or Saab, Mini, Mercury, Mercede or Mopar, Fiat or Lambo.
