The Most CLASSIC 2025: Ferrari dominates the competition of elegance and record attendance confirms the festival's growing popularity

Despite the inclement weather, nearly ten thousand visitors arrived at the Most Autodrom for the third year of The Most CLASSIC, admiring more than 500 exhibited and participating cars and over 120 racing specials from the Histo Cup series. The highlight of the day was the Competition of Elegance, which was won by the Ferrari 275 GTB (1965) from the collection of Jiří Sudík. The Citroën DS 19 Cabriolet Chapron (1963) owned by Ladislav Karas came in second place, and the Jaguar Mk X (1964) owned by Josef and Sebastián Šmíd took third place. The Srdcovka Award, which recognizes cars with a strong character, story, and care from the owner, was won this year by the Fiat 130 Berlina owned by Jan Pičkar.

The Most CLASSIC is a festival where classic cars are not only exhibited, but also driven – on a racing circuit, on a polygon and as part of a scenic drive through the Ore Mountains. The event combines an exhibition, races and meetings of collectors, owners and fans of automotive history.

The prestigious international Histo Cup series took place on the large track throughout the day, while regularity races , free public races and test drives of the latest models from Peugeot, Citroën, Opel, Nissan, Mitsubishi, MG, Toyota, Subaru and Cupra took place on the polygon. The Škoda Auto Česká republika, a long-time partner of the event, presented a trio of icons: the Škoda 130 RS, the Fabia RS Rally2 and the all-electric Škoda Elroq , which visitors could also take a personal ride.

Competition of elegance and award-winning cars

"The Ferrari 275 GTB is a perfect example of how the combination of beauty, technology and history can create an absolute icon. Jiří Sudík's car is not only in its original condition, but it also perfectly captures the spirit of the era - and that is what we are looking for in the Concours d'Elegance," said Radek Laube from Autodrom Most on behalf of the jury.

The Srdcovka Award was one of the novelties of this year, awarded by the General Director of Autodrom Most Josef Zajíček . This year it was won by the Fiat 130 Berlina , which, although not as rare as a Ferrari, enchanted the jury with its personality, design and well-preserved condition. "The Srdcovka is not about exclusivity, but about style and character. We also wanted to show that more affordable cars can also win the award from us and to appreciate the enthusiasm for beautiful cars," added Josef Zajíček .

This year's event was also attended by important personalities - among the guests was the Ambassador of Japan to the Czech Republic , who visited the exhibitions and the races in the paddock. The program also included the premiere of the Czech Oldtimer Express 2026 endurance race route , which was personally introduced by Josef Zajíček . The upcoming edition of this international race will head to the south of Italy in the spring, continuing the tradition of connecting Czech and European automotive adventures. The festival was also complemented by an exhibition of paintings by Finnish automotive designer Antti Savia , who captured the poetics of Scandinavian gas stations from the 1960s to the 1980s on his canvases.

The Most CLASSIC confirms its position

The Most CLASSIC festival has become one of the most prominent gatherings of classic car lovers in the Czech Republic over the past three years. It combines an exhibition, races, testing and a social program in an atmosphere where cars are not just exhibits - but living machines with a story .

"This year it was great to see so many beautiful cars, so much enthusiasm and a real passion for cars and the culture around them. The Most CLASSIC, like any good event of this type, is mainly about people - and this year the atmosphere was truly extraordinary. We thank all the partners, participants and spectators who became part of this exceptional day," concludes Radek Laube from Autodrom Most on behalf of the organizers.
