British Classic Car Meeting St. Moritz 2026 – The Tennis Edition

A Legendary Automotive Event Meets Courtside Elegance

The British Classic Car Meeting St. Moritz 2026 – Tennis Edition brings together two pillars of refined culture: classic British automobiles and the timeless world of tennis. Now in its 32nd edition, this prestigious gathering has celebrated automotive heritage in the Upper Engadin since 1994. Following last year's Billionaire Edition, the 2026 theme draws inspiration from the elegance of grand slam tennis, Wimbledon traditions, and the iconic aesthetic of white on the court.

The main event takes place from Friday, July 10 to Sunday, July 12, 2026, with warm-up activities beginning on Thursday, July 9. Centered at Hotel Suvretta House in St. Moritz, the meeting welcomes up to 111 carefully selected classic vehicles for a weekend of rallies, scenic drives, and the celebrated Concours d'Elegance competition.

Event Dates and Program Highlights

The four-day program unfolds across St. Moritz with a blend of motoring and tennis-themed experiences.

• Thursday 9 July - Warm-up, Tennis Apéro and One-Point Slam
• Friday 10 July - Registration, Drivers' Briefing, Cocktail, Opening Dinner
• Saturday 11 July - Rally, Gala Dinner
• Sunday 12 July - Concours d’Elégance in the Garden of the Suvretta House Hotel

The timing is no coincidence. Wimbledon 2026 takes place during the same dates, creating a unique cultural synchronicity. Expect strawberries and cream, Pimm's, and Slim Aarons-inspired moments woven throughout the weekend.

White Sets the Tone

The aesthetic direction for 2026 revolves around white as the dominant color, echoing the all-white dress code of Wimbledon. Participants are encouraged to present white-colored classic vehicles, though this is not a requirement and does not influence judging in the Concours d'Elegance.

A notable innovation this year is the inclusion of a limited number of non-British vehicles with documented tennis connections. This means special editions like the Peugeot 205 Roland Garros or Lacoste-branded models may join the field alongside the traditional lineup of pre-1980 British marques. The organizing committee retains final selection authority to ensure thematic consistency across the 111-vehicle field.

Registration

Registration for the British Classic Car Meeting St. Moritz 2026 – Tennis Edition opened in December 2025, with a deadline at the end of April 2026. Given the strict cap of 111 vehicles, early registration is recommended, on the official website.

Getting There from Hotel Schweizerhof, Sils Maria

Hotel Suvretta House in St. Moritz lies approximately 12 kilometers from Hotel Schweizerhof in Sils Maria. The drive takes around 15 minutes along the main Engadin road, passing through Silvaplana before reaching St. Moritz. Public bus connections on the Engadin Bus network also link Sils Maria to St. Moritz regularly throughout the day, making the journey straightforward whether you arrive by classic car or modern transport.

For spectators and enthusiasts without a participating vehicle, the scenic drives pass through the broader Engadin valley, meaning you may catch a glimpse of polished Jaguars, Aston Martins, and MGs cruising past the lakes right from the village of Sils Maria itself.

Your Base in the Engadin

Hotel Schweizerhof Sils Maria offers an ideal base for attending the British Classic Car Meeting. Situated at the entrance to the car-free Fex Valley and just a short drive from St. Moritz, the hotel combines alpine tranquility with easy access to the Engadin's most celebrated summer events. After a day immersed in automotive elegance and tennis-inspired festivities, return to the calm of Sils Maria for a relaxing evening by the lake. The hotel team is happy to assist with directions, transport options, and recommendations to make your event experience seamless.
