In Russia, a contest of rare cars will be held with the support of Gislaved

On September 6, 2025, the "Pirogovo" golf club on the shores of the Klyazminskoye reservoir in the Moscow region will host the "Autoculture" project's first rare car contest, with the tire brand Gislaved as its partner.

The organizers were inspired by renowned car "concours d'elegance" events such as Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, and Hampton Court Palace Concours of Elegance, which take place in Italy, the USA, and the UK, respectively, and the jury, comprising experts, collectors, etc., will evaluate cars based on parameters like design, preservation, and authenticity.

It is reported that the collaboration with Gislaved is due to the fact that "the brand's values - high quality, responsibility, and the desire to conquer new heights - largely coincide with the philosophy of "Autoculture"."

"The contest is a long-awaited event that opens a new chapter in the history of automotive culture in Russia," said Nikita Muravin, founder of the "Autoculture" project. "We have been nurturing the idea of holding a similar contest for a long time, carefully preparing and trying to take into account many important nuances. After all, this is the first event of its kind in our country, and it is very important for us that it is held according to all international canons. We are organizing the event for some of the most discerning fans of rare cars. It's very exciting, and we have a great responsibility to justify the trust of everyone involved in this bright initiative."

It is also reported that the "Pirogovo" golf club was chosen because "its aesthetics and natural landscape organically combine with the philosophy of "Autoculture" and fully reflect the approach and concept of the contest, emphasizing the intimacy, elitism, and uniqueness of the event."

The Gislaved brand has a history of over 130 years, and in Russia, tires under this brand are currently produced by the Cordiant holding company Cordiant.
