Editorial status: 14 August 2026 · Period: remainder of 2026 and calendar year 2027
The overview is sorted chronologically and divided into two sections: remainder of 2026 (from mid-August) and calendar year 2027. Events from 2026 that have already passed are not included.
For 2027, many dates are already fixed, others not yet officially confirmed. The latter are marked “date open” or “expected” and should be checked again before issue planning.
The Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este is located in Italy and thus outside the requested countries, but is included because it is hosted by BMW Group Classic and represents the largest official BMW classic event of the year.
The “Editorial note” column contains partly facts from organiser information, partly own assessments of editorial usability – it is intended as a planning aid, not as a source citation.
The numbers in the “Source” column refer to the source list at the end of the document. All information without guarantee; dates and venues may change.
