Steve is a Senior Judge at the Hilton Head Concours and suggested to Wayne Long that an award for the best cars at the Cortile would add excitement to the event. Wayne Long put together awards for the Cortile Cup that summer and has done so every year since.

Judges Rules & MethodologyWe rate the cars on the visual impact they make - the so-called "wow factor". Other criteria such as the car’s condition, authenticity, restoration, rarity, and historical importance are also considered. The main factors are the car’s style, beauty and elegance. There is no such thing as the perfect car, so judges form an opinion of the car they feel is the best at the show on that particular day based on a set of criteria. The French term Concours d’Elegance means “competition of elegance.” Cortile judging is a "relaxed" form of judging developed to enhance the experience for the participants yet not add drama.
Some Hints from the Judges:
We would all like to thank Mid-Atlantic Sports Cars for adding the Cortile Cup to the Italian Cortile! Cortile Cup Sponsored & Hosted by Mid Atlantic Sports Cars
The Mid-Atlantic Sports Car Dealership was created in the summer of 2007. Long-time friends and businessmen Wayne Long, Rick Biafora & David Biafora had a vision more than twenty five years ago to create a car dealership that would be tailored to their tastes of foreign sports cars. Mid-Atlantic Sports Cars is the result of their planning and research.
Wayne Long manages the business and has a long history of being involved in the sports car automotive hobby, including acting curator for a very extensive car collection. Included in the collection are a 1966 Ferrari 275 GTS, 1974 Ferrari Dino, one of 17 original Iso Griffo Targa's, a Maserati Ghibli, a Lamborghini Dioblo VT Roadster and many more. Wayne also competes in Auto-X events and has done so for more than twenty five years. Since 2011 Wayne Long and MId Atlantic Sports Cars have sponsored and coordinated the entire Cortile Cup by bringing in some of the finest judges and hosting them for the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix weekend. |
