JUNIOR CONCOURS SMALLER CARS AND YOUNGER DRIVERS, BUT THE SAME LEVEL OF PRIDE IN THEIR VEHICLES Much like many of their full-size stablemates, the Junior Concours cars are mostly hand-crafted, borrowing intricate details from their iconic full-size equivalents. The faithful recreations vary in their complexity, with some requiring pedal power and others making use of electric motors or two-stroke petrol engines. Over the course of the event, the cars will be
piloted by their works drivers – supported by their mechanics, of course – up onto the Concours Live Stage for a special prize-giving ceremony. Competitors can win awards for Best Pedal Car, Best Electric Car, Best Petrol Car, Best-Dressed Driver and Best-Dressed Mechanic, before all being treated to a tea party in the stunning grounds of Hampton Court Palace.

THE JUNIOR CONCOURS returns for its third year, having proved to be a highly popular addition to the Concours of Elegance with both entrants and visitors alike. Celebrating the best of half-scale hand-built pedal, electric and petrol-powered cars of all ages, the Junior Concours welcomes parents and their children in the roles of ‘works drivers’ and mechanics.
