An opportunity for owners of the featured car of each year’s event to participate in the Watkins Glen Grand Prix Festival as part of the show and enjoy the The Hilliard U.S. Vintage Grand Prix at Watkins Glen International.
For a quick overview, here is a small pictorial sample of a previous year’s Tour de Marque, when Corvettes were featured.
Date:
Friday- September 6, 2019
Location:
Starts at Chateau Lafayette Reneau
5081 State Route 414
Hector NY 14841
Eligibility:
Any Triumph Car
Cost:
Registration fee of $145 per car, which includes two weekend tickets to the Hilliard U.S. Vintage Grand Prix at Watkins Glen International.
The Course:
This year the WGI Tour de Marque Launched From Chateau Lafayette Reneau – Triumph will start out at the CLR Winery, where drivers will meet for coffee, pastries, and conversation to start their day. Then they will get to do a really neat roughly 85 mile Rallye Route of the kind that only the Stone Bridge Driver Events Committee is famous for putting on, ending at Watkins Glen International, where the drivers will be hosted for brunch, followed by paced laps of the world-famous 3.4 mile racetrack. The cars then line-up for the drive into town, where they stage at the original Start/Finish line for the 1948 Grand Prix, and then take their two Cayuga Health System Laps of the 6.6 mile Old Course. The cars finish at Lafayette Park in downtown Watkins Glen where they are parked on display, while the drivers get to enjoy the rest of the festival.
