LADIES CONCOURS
SATURDAY 27TH JULY 2024
20 RARE AND EXOTIC VEHICLES FROM AUSTIN HEALEY 3000S TO FERRARI +DAYTONAS – ALL OWNED BY WOMEN – WILL JOIN THE CONCOURS OF ELEGANCE, ON LAKE TEGERNSEE FOR A CURATED SCHEDULE OF EVENTS
The world of thoroughbred racing cars and top-end collector vehicles is still perceived to be primarily a male pursuit. But the reality is that some of the most voracious automotive thrill seekers and knowledgeable car collectors in the world are – and have always been – women.
On Saturday 27th July, a group of 20 rare and exotic vehicles, all proudly owned by women will join the Concours line up.
Ladies Concours is inspired by the pioneering icon, Bertha Benz. Formally known as the first woman to drive an automotive vehicle – Benz drove a distance of 60 miles on uneven, poorly tarmacked roads – crowning her the title for the first long distance drive. Perfecting the craft of improvisation, the vehicle broke down on the journey. A true pioneer, Benz used her garter to reignite the ignition, enabling her to complete the journey and crown her iconic story in history.
The Ladies Concours is a one-day driving tour starting with breakfast on the shores of Lake Tegernsee, a small driving tour around the edges of the lake to Gut Kaltenbrunn and the Concours of Elegance. There will be a series of events, including a champagne reception and lunch in the Auto Club.
