Tomorrow will be one of the most exciting days of the year for supercar enthusiasts in Vancouver, as up to 100 exotic cars will drive all the way from downtown Vancouver to the beautiful resort town of Whistler as part of the Luxury & Supercar Weekend‘s 2014 Diamond Rally. Drivers will start arriving at Brian Jessel BMW (2311 Boundary Rd) from 9-10AM where they will enjoy a continental breakfast, sort out their paperwork for the drive, and watch the new all-electric BMW i8’s first ever rally drive. This will be a great opportunity to lay eyes on some of the city’s most rare and powerful supercars, and – best of all – it’s a charitable event, with each driver able to raise funds for their favourite charity.
At 11:15AM, the rally will receive a police escort on to Highway 99, and an about an hour later it will arrive at its first pit stop in Squamish’s Chances Gateway Casino (9000 Valley Drive), where all 100 cars will be on display in the parking lot for approximately 30 minutes. The rally will then continue on to Whistler Village, where it will stop at Whistler Olympic Plaza (4144 Village Stroll) for an hour-long display that locals can stop by and enjoy.

The ultra-popular Luxury & Supercar Weekend will be returning to Vancouver for its fifth consecutive year this September. The main attraction of this three-day event is a massive open-air exotic car show on the beautifully manicured Great Lawn of VanDusen Botanical Gardens, where car lovers can get a glimpse of rare supercars, restorations, classics, and even concept cars. The display is tightly curated by the event’s Concours d‘Elegance selection committee, which ensures that only the very best of the best automobiles are included. You’ll definitely want to bring your camera, because seeing many of these cars may be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity – that’s how exclusive the selection process is.
Of course, the abundance of amazing cars are just the start of this huge event. It also includes designer fashion shows, luxury car collecting seminars, an awards ceremony, and enough food & entertainment to keep anybody engaged from start to finish. The crowd is well-heeled and the festival atmosphere has everybody in a great mood, making this not just an opportunity to have fun and admire exotic cars, but to meet your fellow supercar collectors and enthusiasts as well.
The 2014 Luxury & Supercar Weekend runs from September 5th to 7th in VanDusen Botanical Garden (5251 Oak Street).
