The 24 Hours of Le Mans
The 24 Hours of Le Mans was held for the first time in 1923 on the 13.629 km ‘Circuit de la Sarthe’ at Le Mans in France. During the second weekend of June, some 300,000 racing fans head for this French circuit. It is the largest annual sporting event in Europe.
The 24 Hours of Le Mans is one of the oldest and most famous sports car races in the world. Together with the Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix and the Indianapolis 500, it is one of the most famous races of the year.
70 years of Citroën 2CV
In 1935 the French manufacturer Citroën decided to develop a small car that was suitable for the rugged French countryside. It had to be able to transport two farmers with 50 kg of potatoes or a sheep or a barrel of 50 litres of wine.
Moreover, the car had to be so comfortable that the customer could drive with a basket of eggs across a freshly ploughed field without any of them breaking. It also had to be economical, cheap, reliable and simple to operate. Appearance was not a major factor.
More than 50 clubs
The Antwerp Classic Salon has already been the top meeting point for Belgian – and now also several Dutch – old-timer clubs, for 41 years. We offer them Hall 1 completely free of charge.
All the clubs put a lot of effort into the (themed) decoration of their stand and the most beautiful collection of cars belonging to their members are on display at the Antwerp Expo.
They participate in the club competition in which the winners receive large cash prizes. In collaboration with the B.F.O.V. the 3 most beautiful cars on the club stands are chosen.
