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: the third round of the seventh season of the “Classic Series” took place here. The event brought together vintage car enthusiasts, professional drivers, and families with children, giving everyone their own dose of adrenaline and vivid impressions.
Racing: a fight to the last meter
On one of the most demanding circuits in Russian motorsport, the best drivers behind the wheels of iconic Zhiguli, Moskvich, Volga, and foreign classics came together. Spectators witnessed close battles in various classes, as well as stages of the two-round Moscow Cup – in the Touring, Touring-Light, Super-Production, Lada, and Sportprototype CN categories. The races were given special significance by their RAF Cup status: representatives of 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 – this once again emphasizes that the love for classic cars and the spirit of racing knows no borders.
Retro atmosphere: exhibition, slalom, and parade
A special atmosphere for the day was created by a large-scale retro exhibition: 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 filigree mastery of high-speed maneuvering, and a ceremonial retro parade – an impressive procession of historic cars that became a bright finale to the racing day.
Family format: a celebration 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 the “Preobrazhensky Garage” was operating – children rode pedal cars on a mini-track, took part 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 holding the season is played by the company “Rolf,” which celebrates 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 show cars in the paddock, as well as organized an engaging environment for young visitors with face painting and 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 servicing of private and corporate clients, providing them with the most comfortable and safe cooperation conditions.
TSS Group has also been supporting the competitions for several years – a group of companies specializing in the production of completion systems for the construction and reconstruction of oil and gas wells.
For thrill-seekers
A real gift for speed fans was the program from Ilya Kamensky’s School of Extreme Driving: drift taxi and race taxi allowed everyone to feel the dynamics of professional driving side by side with experienced instructors.
