About this event
The 2024 NER Concours will be held 8:00am to 1:00pm on Saturday, October 5 on the back lawn of The Elms property, 367 Bellevue Avenue, Newport, RI during the Audrain Motor Week and Concours. Concours entrants will have a choice between objective points-based Full classes and Werks classes where the history and stories behind Porsches are weighed by judges in a mostly subjective manner. Advanced Concours entrant registration will be $40, with day of the Concours registration, if available, $60. Advanced Concours registration opens July 1.
Rare and interesting cars will be spotlighted. All Porsches and spectators are welcome. Cayennes, Macans and Panameras are especially invited – with few entrants; there is a good chance to win a trophy! Special glass trophies will be awarded to class winners and runners-up.
This year’s Concours will feature the following ten judged classes:
- 356
- 914, 914-6
- 924/928/944/968
- 911/912 (1965-1973)
- 911/912 (1974-1989)
- 964/993 Class
- Boxster/Cayman
- 996/997
- 991/992
- Panamera/Cayenne/Macan/Taycan
The Full and Werks categories continue as last year. A Winner’s class was added to the Full category in 2022. The purpose of the Winner’s class was to encourage greater participation in all classes. The Winner’s class was composed of all first-place finishers in 2021, irrespective of Porsche vintage or model. Because of cancellation in 2023 due to inclement weather conditions, the Winner’s class is suspended for 2024. It is planned to be re-implemented in 2025.
Saturday, October 12, will be the Concours alternative date, in case of inclement weather. Parking on The Elms lawn by entrants or spectators will be permitted until 6:00 pm the day of the Concours so that attendees may visit other Motor Week activities. Spectator parking at The Elms will be for Porsches only for $30, on a first come basis. Parking for non-Porsches will not be available at The Elms.
Advanced Concours entrant registration is recommended, entrant spaces are limited to 120. Registration is scheduled to open July 1. Additional information and registration, when available, will be posted on porschenet.com.
