Concours goes Virtual. A unique and interesting innovation
The Concours Virtual is a unique and innovative virtual version of a classic Concours d'Elegance, organized due to the global pandemic crisis that led to the cancellation or postponement of most of the global events in 2020.
The Concours Virtual is the virtual transposition of a classic Concours d’Elegance. The idea came from the mind of Geoff Love and David Lillywhite, founders and directors of Magneto magazine. In 2020, because of the global pandemic crisis, virtually all of the global Concours d’Elegance events were either cancelled or postponed. This idea stemmed from the strong desire of great collectors to return to real competitions and show their cars at beauty events. Even in F1, or in other racing competitions such as the 24h Le Mans, virtual races have been organized with real drivers, who had an irrepressible desire to race.
After the great success of virtual auctions, where we have seen some surprising sales successes over the last few months, let's now see what happens with the Virtual Concours d’Elegance. The Concours Virtual, innovative and quite unique, aims to donate all proceeds from sponsorships and participant donations to UNICEF, for the research of a vaccine against Covid19.
