For anyone with a warm heart for Italian design, roaring engines, and pure motorsport passion, there's only one destination this weekend: Circuit Zandvoort. On Saturday, June 27th, and Sunday, June 28th, the North Holland dune ridge will transform into an atmospheric Italian epicenter during Spettacolo Sportivo 2026. This event, organized by the 'Stichting Klaverblaadje' of the Alfa Romeo Club, has grown into the largest Alfa Romeo event in Europe. It promises to be a weekend where history, technology, and club spirit uniquely converge.
Whether you are a seasoned Alfist or simply love the unmistakable sound of classic race and sports cars; Spettacolo Sportivo offers a program that will make every car enthusiast's heart beat faster.
Track action and roaring engines
The circuit is the beating heart of the event. Throughout the weekend, various classes will rapidly alternate on the asphalt. From spectacular demonstrations with historic Formula and touring cars to club races where drivers push their machines to the limit. The unique aspect of this event is the enormous diversity of vehicles: you'll see rare pre-war classics side by side with the most modern sports models chasing each other around the track.
For visitors who come to Zandvoort with their own Italian car, there is also the opportunity to tackle the challenging corners of the revamped Grand Prix circuit during the free driving sessions. A unique experience to test the dynamics of your own car on hallowed ground.
Special jubilees in the spotlight
Spettacolo Sportivo traditionally also highlights milestones from the rich history of motorsport. This year, during the 28th edition, a number of iconic models will be given special attention. Think of special displays and themed paddocks around legendary anniversaries such as the Alfasud Sprint and the characteristic Duetto. Club members and registries from all over Europe will come together to present a unique timeline of these models, providing a beautiful historical overview for the public.
The unique atmosphere in the paddock
Besides all the action on the track, the paddock is perhaps the most enjoyable place at the circuit. The pit area is fully open to the public. Here you can watch mechanics at work on classic engines, and visit stands from specialists, clubs, and artists. The informal, accessible atmosphere makes it very easy to strike up conversations with owners and drivers about their passion and the technology behind their cars.
