Separate jury for elegance and originality
The Concours vehicles are judged separately by two juries. An "Authenticity Jury" assesses the state of preservation and authenticity, while the "Elegance Jury" looks at style and elegance and also assesses the clothing of the crew.
Versatile program
Friday (June 21) will be dedicated to the Tour d'Elégance. On Saturday, the cars will be judged in the courtyard of Coppet Castle and the prizes will be awarded on Sunday.
Of course, nobody has to go hungry and the public can also take a close look at the cars on Sunday from 10:00.
