Audrain’s Newport Concours & Motor Week

Newport’s extensive automotive history dates back as early as the Gilded Age, with the first Vanderbilt Cup trophy given in a race on September 6, 1900, after Willie K. Vanderbilt and some of his closest friends traveled to the nearby horse track to race their newly-imported automobiles. Little did they realize the impact their racing exploits would have on American racing culture.

With such a rich motoring history, Newport is a natural destination for a premier Concours & Motor Week, with beautiful, historic mansions, landmark commercial buildings, and the seemingly endless Atlantic Ocean providing the most elegant of backdrops. Established in 2019, the Audrain Newport Concours & Motor Week is a multi-day celebration of the automobile, uniting enthusiasts from around the world.
