Classic Series 2026" at Moscow Raceway Third Stage – Success, Emotions, and Retro Magic!

On July 25, the Moscow Raceway circuit became the epicenter of motorsport passion, hosting the third stage of the seventh season of the "Classic Series." The event brought together vintage car enthusiasts, professional drivers, and families with children, offering everyone their share of adrenaline and vivid impressions.

Races: Battle to the Last Meter

On one of the most demanding tracks in Russian motorsport, the best drivers competing in iconic Zhigulis, Moskviches, Volgas, and foreign classics came together. Spectators witnessed intense battles across various classes, as well as stages of the two-stage Moscow Cup – in the Touring, Touring Light, Super Production, Lada, and Sport Prototype CN categories. The races gained special significance due to their status as part of the RAF Cup: representatives from different eras and schools of motorsport met on the track.

International Dimension

This season, the "Classic Series" is held jointly with the friendly Championship and Cup of the Republic of Belarus – once again emphasizing that the love for classic cars and the spirit of racing knows no borders.

Retro Atmosphere: Exhibition, Slalom, and Parade

A large-scale retro exhibition created the day's special atmosphere: car clubs and private collectors presented true legends – from iconic Soviet models to rare foreign cars. The picture was complemented by a spectacular retro car slalom, where drivers demonstrated masterful high-speed maneuvering, and a ceremonial retro parade – an impressive procession of historic vehicles that served as a vibrant finale to the race day.

Family Format: A Holiday for the Whole Family

The organizers placed special emphasis on comfort and entertainment for young guests. In the paddock, an interactive children's zone from TSS Group and "Garage Preobrazhensky" was in operation – children rode pedal cars on a mini-track, participated in mini-races, received gifts, and felt like real racers.

The seventh season of the "Classic Series" is held with the support of the Russian Automobile Federation (RAF). The title partner of the Series is the largest tire manufacturer – Yokohama.

An important role in the season's organization is played by the company "Rolf," which is celebrating its 35th anniversary this year. With its support, numerous activities aimed at developing motorsport culture are implemented. The company also emphasizes family values and presented a large-scale exhibition of display cars in the paddock, as well as organizing an engaging environment for young visitors with face painting, animators, claw machines, and cotton candy – "ROLF for Children."

Partner support is also provided by the universal regional bank "Zemsky Bank," which offers its clients all types of banking services, including comprehensive service for private and corporate clients, providing them with the most comfortable and safe cooperation conditions.

Not for the first year, TSS Group – a group of companies specializing in the production of completion systems for the construction and reconstruction of oil and gas wells – also supports the competition.

For Thrill Seekers

A real gift for speed fans was the program from Ilya Kamensky's Extreme Driving School: drift taxi and race taxi allowed anyone to experience the dynamics of professional piloting alongside experienced instructors.
