This year’s annual Deutsche Marque Concours d’Elegance will be soon be upon us.

Bring your Porsche out to the show to compete for awards or to display. The all-day event is complete with car displays, food and merchandise vendors and followed by an awards reception.

*** Please note that this year we are combining the judged and wash 'n shine into all the awards.  Some awards are not dependent on the total cleanliness of your car so you can still win if your car's glove compartment has candy wrappers in it.

Registration runs from March 15, 2017 6:00 PM to May 6, 2017 10:00 PM

The entry fee for the concours is $30 per car ($40 after April 30th or on-site).

Registration includes one wine and cheese awards reception ticket.  Additional wine and cheese reception tickets are available at $15 each.  

 In order to allow us to plan appropriately for the number of guests, please register here in advance.

There is no charge or need to register to attend the concours as a spectator.

Potomac Porsche Club Concours Chairman John Truban has chosen a diverse and highly qualified group of Judges. The Judges will be scoring cars based on cleanliness of the exterior, interior, engine and trunk compartments. We do not score the undercarriage of the car. We have designed the car classes to allow for the widest range of Porsche automobiles to compete and be shown. We have many familiar classes while adding two additional classes this year. We have added a Modern Production Class for Cayennes, Macans and Panameras, as well as brought back the Outlaw Class for all Porsches that have been noticeably modified from the original specifications.

This year’s Deutsche Marque will be awarding Class Awards for 1 st , 2 nd and 3 rd places. We will also be awarding five Grand Awards, listed below. The Best of Marque Award will be given to the top scoring Porsche on the show field. New this year, the Porsche Best of Marque recipient will then compete against the Mercedes Benz and BMW recipients for The Spirit of the Marque Award.

Pre-registration is highly suggested as space is limited and this speeds up your registration process.

Changes at this year’s 34th Deutsche Marque Concours d’Elegance

This year marks a change in the way the Deutsche Marque Concours d’Elegance will operate.  In the past we had a wash and shine class for those who simply wanted the outside of the car looked at and not be “fully judged.” We also had a judged class that was scored on the cleanliness of the car inside and out. 

This year the 34th Annual Deutsche Marque Concours will combine the two groups to have one judged group of cars on the field.  Every car on the field will be eligible for awards, of which some are not based on cleanliness at all, such as the Best Design Award, People’s Choice, Chairman’s Award and Most Significant Porsche Award.

We recognize that while some feel their car is not prepared to compete amongst other cars that are freshly restored or kept in a bubble, this competition is designed for all Porsche owners to have fun displaying their car alongside their fellow Porsche Club members and enjoy the Concours experience.  The cost is the same for everyone, so why not get the full experience.

The process for the judging will work as follows:

  1. At 10:30 am the judging will begin.  We will be judging in the order of how the class list appears.  Beginning with 356’s and ending with Outlaws. 
  2. The team of judges will arrive at your vehicle and introduce themselves.
  3. They will ask you to briefly tell them about your Porsche.  This is your opportunity to tell the judges about the history of your car, what is special about it or any modifications you have made.       
  4. They will then walk around the vehicle and look at the outside of the vehicle.  They will be looking at everything that is visible to the eye.  They will not be looking under the car or in wheel wells. 
  5. They will then ask the owner to open the doors, trunk and engine compartments.  They will walk around inspecting each of those areas.
  6. If your vehicle is a convertible, you may display it with the top up or down.  However, if the top is down the judges will ask for the top to be raised momentarily during judging so that it may be inspected.
  7. The judges will then ask the owner to close all of the compartments and doors. 
  8. The judges will deliberate to the side away from the car.
  9. After scoring the vehicle the judges will thank the owner and move to the next vehicle.

The 34th Annual Deutsche Marque Concours will be an exciting time to bring your Porsche out and meet new friends and learn new things.
