From April 24 to 26, 2026, the Hockenheimring will once again be transformed into the most important meeting place for classic car enthusiasts: VETERAMA Hockenheim opens its doors and heralds the start of the 2026 classic car season.
For three days, a unique world of chrome, leather, the smell of oil and emotion is created between the pit lane, paddock and grandstands. As Europe’s largest vintage and classic car market, VETERAMA brings together collectors, restorers, clubs and enthusiasts from all over Europe. VETERAMA gets off to a fitting start with the spring kick-off event.
A special highlight is the ds Automotive exhibition throughout the Conti Kreisel, where hundreds of special cars from the tuning department will be on display. The program is complemented by the Show Arena, the coveted classic car exhibition directly in the paddock, where automotive icons and rare vehicles are presented.
The legendary VETERAMA marketplace extends right next to the race track and offers hundreds of vintage and classic cars for sale. A huge range of spare parts, accessories, tools, literature and automotive rarities are lined up in the paddock. It’s not just about trading – it’s about talking shop, reminiscing and sharing passion.
VETERAMA has stood for living automotive culture since 1975. What began as a small veteran’s market is now the most important platform for classic mobility in Europe. Twice a year – in spring in Hockenheim and in fall in Mannheim – history is not only shown, but experienced.
VETERAMA Hockenheim 2026 is therefore much more than just an event: it is a meeting place for generations, a meeting place and a living museum of mobility.
