From the opening day of the 10th edition of InterClassics Brussels, it was clear that this would be a record-breaking edition. The organization recorded its best opening day ever. During this anniversary edition, InterClassics not only put the iconic V12 engine in the spotlight, but also presented a Formula 1 exhibition in honor of 75 years of F1.
In addition, a technical program was introduced for the first time, in which driving schools and students worked live on classic cars on the exhibition floor. Several cars had the ‘Sold’ sign stuck on their windshields during that first day. In total, InterClassics Brussels once again brought together more than 800 cars and over 300 exhibitors at Brussels Expo this year.
1973 Ferrari 365 GTS/4 crowned ‘Best of Show’
The InterClassics Brussels Awards were also presented on the opening day. This year’s top award, Best of Show, went to the 1973 Ferrari 365 GTS/4 at the Gipimotor stand.
Almost 30.000 visitors
With 29,472 visitors, the motor show set a new record. “Compared to last year, that’s almost 29% more visitors and 10% more than our best edition,” says show manager Erik Panis. “In addition to the considerable public interest, there is also continued satisfaction among our exhibitors, with many cars changing hands. This year, we celebrated the 75th anniversary of Formula 1 and the V12s took center stage. The latter translated into a nice selection of Hypercars and Supercars, which attracted a noticeable increase in younger visitors this year,” Panis continues. Due to the success of the Supercars, organizer MECC Maastricht has decided to set up a special Supercars foyer during the upcoming edition of InterClassics Maastricht (January 15-18 at MECC Maastricht).
InterClassics Brussels will take place next year from November 20 to 22, 2026, at Brussels Expo. Those who can’t wait that long can visit MECC Maastricht from January 15 to 18, 2026, for InterClassics Maastricht, where discounted tickets are currently still available.
