===It can truthfully be said that Lime Rock Park’s annual Historic Festival is unlike any other automotive event in the world. It’s five days of motoring magnificence, from vintage race car parades, swap meets, special guests and displays, 40 historic race car competitions, honored collectors, a car show with 800+ entrants and a fabulous Concours d’Elegance – all on the same long weekend, all on the same beautiful and historic motorsports venue. It’s as if you combined the best elements of Monterey, Goodwood and Amelia Island, then every year brought it all to Connecticut’s Northwest Corner during the first weekend of September.

On Sunday, Gathering of the Marques is incredibly diverse; literally hundreds of cars lining the track, grouped by make, model or country of origin. You’ll see huge displays of Shelbys and BMWs and Corvettes and Jaguars and MGs… Astons, Rolls-Royces and Lotuses… Porsches, Peugeots and Panteras… Volvos and Saabs, Minis, Mercurys, Mercedes and Mopars, Fiats and Lambos. If it’s an interesting and fun car, you can be sure their owners find their way to Lime Rock Park to park next to their brethren. In other words, if someone loves their car, you can be sure it’ll be here.

Please note that One Sunday In The Park general admission ticket gets you access to both The Concours d’Elegance & Gathering of the Marques as a spectator.
