Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance

The Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance (Pebble Beach Contest of Elegance in French) is an automotive charitable event held each year on the Pebble Beach Golf Links in Pebble Beach, California, considered the most prestigious event of its kind. The event is open to both prewar and postwar collector cars in which they are judged for authenticity, function, history, and style. Classes are commonly arranged by type, manufacturer, coachbuilder, country of origin, or time period.
Since 2008, Kazunori Yamauchi has presented the Gran Turismo Award to the participant vehicle that stands out as exemplary among the competition, whether it be due to rarity, quality of restoration, or stunning appearance. The owners of the winning vehicle are then offered the opportunity to have their car featured in the Gran Turismo series.
The award was not given out in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
