Chattanooga Motorcar Festival can look back on a successful fourth edition. A 1935 SS One Airline Saloon became best in show in the Concours.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chattanooga Motorcar Festival<\/a> in Tennessee really is that: a feast for your eyes and ears that takes over the West Village. The static displays and the dynamic runs on the nearby Targa Sixty Six track make for a three-day octane-fuelled program, even if it is clear Chattanooga wants to be more than just a car event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Former Porsche racer Patrick Long brought a bit of his \u2018Luftgek\u00fchlt\u2019 Porsche exposition to Chattanooga. \u201cIt feels like a Tennessee Amelia Island. (Event founder) Byron\u2019s energy and passion is infectious, and I think that that really guides the light of this event and I can\u2019t wait to be back,\u201d Long said. Byron DeFoor makes his philanthropy background clear by donating the proceedings of the Chattanooga Motorcar Festival to neuroscience research through the Fifty Plus Foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chattanooga enjoys the support of plenty of relevant names in the classic car and classic racing circuit. Brian Redman is a staunch supporter of the Chattanooga Motorcar Festival, he even carries the title of Grand Ambassador. For the fourth edition, Luigi Chinetti Jr. acted as Grand Marshal. In a statement, \u2018Coco\u2019 said: \u201cThe Chattanooga Motorcar Festival is pretty nice because you don\u2019t have to walk far to see great stuff. There are nice restaurants and the people are spectacular. Everybody from the hotel to the restaurants, everybody\u2019s outgoing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With concerts \u2013 the B52s headlining \u2013 and a program on the Cars animation films, the Chattanooga event is one of the most diverting and entertaining on the calendar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

75 Years of NASCAR<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Chattanooga Concours featured some strong classes, some Ferrari-themed, others celebrating the 75 years of Porsche and the 75 years of NASCAR. Brian and Kimberly Ross\u2019 1953 Ferrari 250MM Berlinetta won the Ferrari Marriott Competition. Dr. Jashbir Dhillon let his son take car of the presentation for the jury, and was awarded best in class in the post 1986 Porsche class with his 1987 Kremer Porsche 962 Group C prototype. Steve Honnell\u2019s 1974 Ford Torino King Cobra prototype was best of the NASCAR class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, the Chairman\u2019s Award went to pop star and famous car collector John Oates, from Nashville, Tennessee. \u201cChattanooga is considerably bigger this year, but still with a kind of small town feel, which I really like. It feels very comfortable to walk around. Everyone is very friendly and chill, which is really nice too. And I love the way the cars and the various car classes are laid out around the town.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
