Chic, Luxury, Scale Models And Prize Winning: Isolation Island Concours

The world in self-isolation has decently mutated. We are no longer surprised at gatherings in Zuma, we wander knowledgeably through online museums, and we prefer high-quality virtual driving with simulators and a gamepad to driving a car. At the same time, there is absolutely nothing to replace live car dealerships: for some time, world auto shows disappeared, autoclassics reviews moved away, and some sites turned into coronavirus hospitals altogether. What about car rallies? There seems to be an answer

In opposition to pompous festivals of elegance like the famous but canceled Concours d'Elegance at Pebble Beach, a community has sprung up on the Web under the name Isolation Island Concours (IIC). His idea is to display old-timer and exotic cars from different years - not only in the form of real cars, but in the format of large-scale models. And exclusively online. You take a rare copy from the shelf, take a photo against a beautiful background, collect some texture and present it to virtual judges. Everything is like in life, only adjusted for modern realities. This is what it looks like.

Despite the general frivolity of the event, he has rules. From the deadlines for submitting applications to a qualified jury of 30 people and even face control: no Lego models, no children's toys or, on the contrary, crafts with an exorbitant price tag - the limit is $ 350 - no identical cars in the same class. The review takes place for two weeks, after which the results are announced.

By the way, Isolation Island Concours is already underway, and the call for applications closes on May 19. Will you take part?
