As above, because of my job the 6 hours in September is not an option. I grew up in the late 60s-70s so that's the period I'm most interested in.

I was at both meetings this year.

The Spa Classic is a big international historic race meeting. Includes TVR track sessions and paddock TVR parking (if you book with Fasttracktours.co.uk).


The Spa Summer Classic is a smaller club race meeting with cars from Belgium, Holland, Germany, France and the UK.

Depends if you are competing or spectating.

Spa Summer Classic is run by the Vincent and Alain who run the 6 Hours. It is an excellent event and good value. It has been running for 20+ years

The Spa Classic is a relatively new event promoted by Peter Auto of Le Mans Classic and Tour Auto. As a competitor it is outrageously expensive but he does attract some good grids from his own championship and others.

Neither is in the same league as the 6 hours meeting in September.

Summer Classic gets my vote as the best clubbie meeting. The Classic will provide a different league of eye candy. The Six Hours is just THE classic race meeting period.
