2025 NER CONCOURS INFORMATION
The 2025 NER Concours will be held 8:00am to 1:30pm on Saturday, October 4 on the back lawn of The Elms Mansion located at 367 Bellevue Avenue, Newport, RI during the Audrain Motor Week and Concours. NER 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. Concours entrant registration will be $40. Day of the event Concours registration is extremely limited and not guaranteed and if available, $60 CASH.
Rare and interesting cars will be spotlighted in a Display Class or with Sponsors. 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 as well as sponsor trophies for unique cars.
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
The Full and Werks categories continue as last year. Due to time and judge labor constraints, we need to limit the total number of cars in each Fully-Judged and Werks class to no more than 12. We’ll be in touch if you’re 13+ and on a wait list as we approach the date and we will refund you if we cannot accommodate your car. Pre-registration is highly recommended and will help make sure your car gets into your class.
Saturday, October 11, will be the Concours alternative date, in case of inclement weather. Parking on The Elms lawn by entrants or spectators will be permitted until 4:00 pm the day of the Concours so that attendees may visit other Motor Week activities with gates opening at 7:30am. Spectator parking at The Elms will be for Porsches only for $30 CASH, on a first come basis. Parking for non-Porsches will not be available at The Elms.
Pre-registration is recommended, entrant spaces are limited to 120. Registration is open. Additional information and registration, when available, will be posted on porschenet.com. Information and the schedule of Audrain Newport Concours and Motor Week activities can be found at www.audrainconcours.com.
A portion of the event proceeds go to support NER’s charity, Homes for Our Troops.
