Competitions
The RIWAX Trophy
The RIWAX Trophy is a new competition for Club Members who put a lot of effort into keeping their car in excellent condition but do not, for whatever reason, want to compete in concours.
The RIWAX Trophy is ideal for owners who use their cars regularly but still want the fun of competing with their cars at National Day.
The inaugural competition will be held at our National Day event. The competition is open to anyone who has not previously taken part in concours and would like to enter a Jaguar or Daimler of any model or age.

Judging Process.
The club will be making some changes to the judging process. The Judging will be completed by one team who will judge across all the Classes. One of the main advantages of this will be consistency of judging for everyone in the competition.
Concours Entries.
Entrants will need to pre-register for the Concours no later than Friday 18th July 2025 – No Entries can be accepted on the day.
All vehicles entered must be driven to and from the National Day Concours event.
Class winners will be awarded a JDC Trophy. This trophy remains the property of the JDC and must be returned to the Chief of Judges (Gareth Jones) in good time for the 2026 competition.
Class winners that have achieved sufficient points will be invited to take part in the Champion of Champions competition. Champion of Champions will be contested at the Jaguars at Gaydon event on Sunday 21stSeptember 2025.
