What to Do This Weekend: From F1 Legends to Bill Gates’ Porsche at Cobble Beach Concours d’Elegance 2025

Looking for something extraordinary to do this weekend?

Head to Georgian Bay, with your friends and family to the 11th annual Cobble Beach Concours d’Elegance (Sept 12–14, 2025).

With a celebration of cars, culture, and history. From legendary supercars to thought-provoking talks, here are two highlights not to miss:

From Grit to Gigabytes


On Saturday, September 13th, the complimentary seminar “From Grit to Gigabytes” brings Formula 1’s past and future into one conversation.

Racing icon Lyn St. James moderates a powerhouse panel including Ferrari insider Luigi Chinetti Jr., Joann Villeneuve sharing stories of late husband Gilles Villeneuve’s legacy, and Leah Penny, a rising engineer with Red Bull Powertrains. A rare chance to experience 75 years of F1 innovation in one sitting.

Bill Gates’ Legendary Porsche 959


Sunday’s Concours showcases a car with as much legal and cultural impact as engineering brilliance; the Porsche 959 once owned by Bill Gates.

Seized for 13 years by U.S. Customs, this very car inspired the landmark “Show or Display” law that reshaped import regulations. Now fully restored, it takes center stage on Canadian soil.

More to Explore
Beyond these highlights, expect scenic tours, Cars & Coffee, a Concours d’Lemons, and the final showcase on the 18th fairway overlooking Georgian Bay.

Whether you’re a lifelong enthusiast or just looking for a unique weekend outing, Cobble Beach promises beauty, stories, and unforgettable machines.
