For each festival area, selected additional services can be selected and booked as packages for pure participation (always including a participant festival pass). We want to make it as easy and comprehensive as possible to attend the Grand Meeting. Have fun registering. We look forward to receiving as many registrations as possible – the date on the first weekend in August is already firmly fixed in many people’s calendars.

In addition to active participation, visitors can of course also purchase single-day or multi-day tickets for the Classic Days in the ticket shop. For classic car and modern classic car clubs, type clubs and regulars’ tables, we are once again offering the big ‘Club Meeting’. For more information, please see the website.

The Grand Meeting – Classic Days 2026 – invites and entices you to participate and visit.

Once again, the first weekend in August at the Birkhof manor near Neuss and Korschenbroich in the Rhineland will be the epicentre of an atmospheric journey through time and a grand summer garden party for car enthusiasts.

Unrivalled in its diversity and style, as colourful as the tastes of our visitors, fans, guests and participants – very British, like a huge picnic area with lovely details. The old, large park at the manor house with its ponds, meadows and clearings – framed by huge old trees – becomes the stage for stylish vehicle exhibitions and catering tents. A large paddock with long rows of tents and old and new racing cars from the ‘Racing Legends’ circuit opens up a journey through time to old racetracks, evoking images of racing heroes from years gone by.

The dynamic driving circuit, with a closed track measuring almost 2.8 kilometres in length, is the centrepiece when it comes to vehicles, legendary cars and drivers, and fast metal in motion. Special themes in beautifully decorated areas always include old caravans and motorhomes, cars from the economic miracle era, advertising vehicles with colourful, contemporary lettering, and US cars. Since 2025, Land Rovers and off-road vehicles have had a permanent place on the specially created off-road course at the Classic Days.

New: In 2026, we will be expanding the year of manufacture classes for the ‘Racing Legends’ – we will no longer limit the year of manufacture to 1961, but will go well beyond that. For motorcycles, a new starter class will be added with younger motorcycles from the period 1955 to 1964.

The whole world of mobility, the whole world of classic cars in a stylish journey through time – the Grand Meeting 2026 is ready to go. Click here to go to the new registration area for active participation in the festival areas in 2026:
