Classic Driver’s Steve Wakefield blogs about the Pebble Beach Tour d’Elegance: elegance of the automobile in motion.
Decades before golf links were laid out along the edge of the Pacific Ocean, the Tour route area was known for its scenic drive, winding for miles through pine and cypress forest and ending at a beautiful crescent-shaped bay. Presented by Rolex, the Tour traces portions of the original 17-Mile Drive, traverses nearby mountains and valleys, and pauses for a time in Carmel-by-the-Sea.
Due to road repairs on Hwy 1, the 2011 Tour route has been modified. The Tour is open to all entrants in the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. It is important to note that the Tour and the Concours are directly linked. If two vehicles tie in class competition at the Concours, the vehicle that has successfully completed the Tour gets the nod.
