Concorse: Not in dictionary.
Compition: Not in dictionary.
Concourse: 1: An act of coming together 2: An open space

It would be difficult if not impossible to determine how any or all of your 
words might relate to the DeLorean.

Perhaps you were referring to a "concors d'elegance competition". A concors
d'elegance is a show of vehicles and accessories in which the entries are judged
primarily on excellence of appearance and not necessarily on originality. Such
a show is typically considered the best of the best. An exception to that is the
annual best of the best Corvette judging show called "Bloomington Gold". 
A Bloomington Gold certified Corvette is a highly coveted and difficult
to obtain award. I am not aware of an annual concors d'elegance competition 
exclusively for DeLoreans. Most concors d'elegance competitions involve much
older vehicles where spare parts are nearly non existent and have to either be
hand made or a replica part is used. Hence the vehicles are no longer "original"
but nevertheless are "excellent of appearance".
