    The Barrington Concours d'Elegance, an annual showcase of collectible cars and motorcycles, will move to downtown Chicago in 2014 and be renamed the Chicago Concours, its new management told the Tribune.

    The new owners are David Cooper, founder of Cooper Technica, a vintage car restoration and investment company in the West Loop, and Patty Dowd Schmitz, principal of Barrington-based Three Peaks Marketing Group.

    Cooper and Schmitz said they are in talks with the Chicago Park District and hope to hold the event on Northerly Island in June 2014. The 2013 event will continue as planned in Barrington in July.

    Cooper and Schmitz have formed a for-profit company, Chicago Concours Inc., to manage the event and a related charity, the Legends & Legacy Foundation, which is awaiting final Internal Revenue Service approval.
    .......

    She said she expects this year's event will attract 3,000 to 5,000 people. And Cooper said he expects the event to quickly grow — in both car entries and attendance — with a downtown location.

    As a member of the Barringtons legacy club I knew about this for a while but had to keep my mouth shut. Happy that the cat is now out of the bag. This event will rock!

    Can't wait but until then we have at least the last installment of the Barrington concours in July. See you all at Makaray.

    Don't forget next weekend is the Road America Historic HAWK Brian Redman races. The next few weeks are going to be very busy for sportscar fans starting with the Barrington Concours this weekend. Get the sunscreen ready.

    They finally posted the entry list. I see alot of Historic F1 cars running along with a 917K and 312PB, a few 910's, the normal Can Am Mclaren's and a few Lola T70's. Also very interesting is a 1994 Mercedes old class 1 DTM car!!! I don't think we have seen many of these on this side of the pond.

    Something cool but not on the list always shows up. They also have a special display every year that I can't find any information on. A cold front will move in on Friday making Saturday and Sunday nice up at Elkhart Lake.

    A pretty good turnout at the Brian Redman Hawk historics. I did not see the 1994 Mercedes Class C DTM car but did see the Audi DTM car. It is owned by a guy from the Chicago area. A few Ferrari's and one of the original Greenwood monster Corvette's as it ran at Sebring in 1975. At Leman's in 1976 one of these cars was able to keep up with the prototype Porsche 936/76's until it tore up it's fuel tank due to a blown tire.
