PCA Potomac's Deutsche Marque Concours Chair Paul Vessels has chosen a diverse and highly qualified group of judges. The judges, led by our head judge and former Concours Chair Ron Davis, along with Steve MacKellar will be scoring cars based on cleanliness of the exterior, interior, engine and trunk compartments, as well as on the owner’s history with the car and its overall impact. We do not score the undercarriage of the car. Classes have been designated to allow for the broadest range of Porsche automobiles to compete and be shown.
As in the past, this year’s event will present 1st, 2nd and 3rd places in class. We will also award the five Grand Awards as listed below. The Best of Marque Award will be given to the top-scoring Porsche on the show field. This winner will then compete against the Mercedes Benz and BMW recipients for The Spirit of the Deutsche Marque Concours Award – The Top Honor.
