Veterama Hockenheim 2026

From Friday, April 24 to Sunday, April 26, 2026, the Hockenheimring will once again be the setting for Veterama — the place to be for anyone looking for that missing part, a stack of documentation, or the tool that has been on their wish list for years.
Veterama has existed since 1975 and is held twice a year: in the spring in Hockenheim and in the autumn in Mannheim. The format has changed little over the years, and that is precisely its strength: a wide range of offerings in one place, practically arranged for both buyers and sellers.

Paddock and marketplace

The heart of the event is the parts market in the paddock, where you can find parts, accessories, tools, literature, and automobilia. Those specifically looking for a complete car can visit the separate marketplace next to the circuit — according to the organizers, hundreds of classic and modern classic cars are for sale there.

The event lasts three days, offering the opportunity to browse at a leisurely pace and even walk back to that one stall. That fits the character of Veterama: not a show, but a market where you invest time.

Driving on the Hockenheimring

On Friday, April 24, you can take your own vehicle onto the track for tourist rides. Racing is not permitted; cars and motorcycles will drive in separate groups. On Saturday and Sunday, Speer Racing will host a track program. Additionally, a tuning vehicle exhibition has been announced, and vehicles can be displayed in the Show Arena next to the circuit.
