NATIONAL WEEKEND 2008
Concours Competition Changes
(Links to view or download information are at end of this page)
Updated 4 February 2008
As you will have read in recent issues of TRansmission the concours event at this national Weekend is being updated to meet requests from TR owners to provide more classes and recognise TR's that may not be in a strictly original state but are in top condition and deserve recognition.   In making these changes input from various sources has been considered but particularly some good ideas from gleaned from the  UK TR Register.   We must thank Phil Tucker (Concours Manager), Ian Evans (Past President ) and all the other people from that organisation that assisted with this project.


As a result of this, in addition to the traditional four Concours classes that have been competed for in previous years, there will be four new classes introduced this year for TR's that have been modified in some way that, in the past, would have lost points for non-originality.    Over time there has been a number of TR's lovingly restored but not to strictly original specifications.   In keeping with one of the Registers primary objects "Preservation of the Marque" originality has, and always will be, been a significant aspect of Concours competitions and these non-original but otherwise excellent TR's have sometimes not received the accolades they may have deserved.  The new  "Modified" ( or "Non-standard") classes should address this point.

Another new event, "Pride of Ownership", is also being introduced that will provide a competition for those TR's (and their owners) that are not in serious concours condition but are loved and cared for.    Part of this will involve convincing the judges that you are proud of your TR. 

 

As noted above there are several new concepts and procedures being introduced this year and, from everyone's experiences and subsequent input, improvements for next year may come to light and constructive comment is very welcome.   However, at this point, it is not intended to make any further changes changes before the Napier event but the information on the pages linked below with the rules, scoring sheets and judging guidelines will be reviewed after the 2008 National Weekend in time for 2009.
The Concours Competition Classes for 2008 will be:

  • Standard Class: (Same as in previous years - For original TR's)
    TR2, 3, 3A and Derivatives
