FCA Concours Events

A wide variety of Concours events are held locally by FCA Regions and Chapters throughout the year. These can range in size and complexity from an informal “show and shine” gathering, through a “top down” or popular choice contest, to a fully judged Concours d’Elegance.

FCA Annual Meet International Concours d’Elegance

The Ferrari Club of America’s International North American Field and Driving Concours, held annually in conjunction with its Annual Meet, is recognized asone of the most important annual gatherings in the world for the display and evaluation of Ferrari automobiles.

Ferraris are arranged in classes by age and type with recognition awarded on the basis of originality, authenticity and condition of the vehicle. All judging is conducted in accordance with IAC/PFA standards. Any Ferrari that is more than 5 years old at the time of judging is eligible to enter for class awards. Newer cars can enter in the Futuro Classico.

Futuro Classico

The Futuro Classico is open to all Ferraris that are less than five years old on the date of the evaluation. A maximum of 10 newer cars are accepted for evaluation each year. The purpose of this evaluation is to encourage owners to preserve their cars in the original state, document the as-delivered condition of these cars, and develop a reference database for when the cars are eligible for concours judging in the future.

Ed Gilbertson “Ferraris are Meant to be Driven!” Award

In recognition of over 25 years as Chief Concours Judge of the Ferrari Club of America, the Pacific Region has established the “Ed Gilbertson – Ferrari’s are Meant To Be Driven Award” as a perpetual award to recognize those active club members who regularly drive their cars. The Award honors Ed and his philosophy that "Ferraris are Meant to be Driven!”.

Advanced Car and Driver Awards

In addition to the class awards given in the main Concours d’Elegance event, FCA has established two special categories of merit that are awarded at each Annual Meet to the Ferraris and their drivers who can meet additional levels of distinction.

Coppa Bella Macchina

Any Ferrari that achieves a Platino award in the Concours d’Elegance (95 points or better) and has been pre-entered by its owner, is eligible for judging in the Coppa Bella Macchina. This award gives recognition for Ferraris that are in exceptionally good working order, with every component and accessory working precisely as delivered from the factory under driving conditions.
