2026 Spa Classic live stream: watch all of the action as it happens
More than 400 historic racing cars take to the Ardennes this weekend for the 14th edition of Spa Classic
The 2026 Spa Classic gets underway at Spa-Francorchamps this Friday, with nine grids of historic racing cars taking to the Belgian Ardennes circuit across the weekend.
Now in its 14th year, the Peter Auto event has become one of Europe’s premier historic meetings.
Last year it drew more than 25,000 spectators and nearly 400 competing cars – and this edition is expanded further, with the Heritage Touring Cup 2 and the GT3 Revival Series both making their Spa Classic debut.
Founded in 2011, Spa Classic has established itself as one of the most important fixtures on the European historic racing calendar.
The event takes place on the full 7.004km Spa-Francorchamps layout – the same circuit that hosts Formula 1‘s Belgian Grand Prix.
Alongside the racing, more than 800 club cars are on static display in the paddock village.
