InterClassics Maastricht gets into gear for 30th-anniversary edition

From 16-19 January, 2025, MECC Maastricht, Netherlands, will once again serve as the hub for classic car enthusiasts in the Benelux. Over 800 classic cars, youngtimers, and supercars will be displayed across 35,000sqm of exhibition space.

The 2025 edition of InterClassics Maastricht will feature a line-up of over 20 rare cars chosen by fans themselves.

The event has also become the leading exhibition for sim racers in the Netherlands, showcasing more than 60 professional simulators from top manufacturers demonstrating the latest hardware and software. Attendees can enjoy live demonstrations, competitions, and seminars.

To celebrate 30 years of the show, organisers invited visitors to vote for their favourite cars from past editions and the Ferrari 250 GT Berlinetta SWB was crowned the public’s absolute favourite, beating the Ford GT40, Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing, and Amilcar Type C6. This car was also chosen as the event’s poster car, depicted with Maastricht’s Vrijthof in the background.

The 2025 exhibition boasts a lineup including the Alfa Romeo Giulia TZ1. With only 112 examples of this lightweight 1964 racing car ever built, it remains one of the most coveted Alfa Romeos. Other racing cars are also featured, such as the Le Mans-winning Jaguar D-Type from the Louwman Museum and an official works Aston Martin DB3.

For the fifth consecutive year, the Sim Expo will be hosted during InterClassics by Sim Formula Europe. Sim racing gained mainstream attention when professional drivers like Max Verstappen demonstrated that the digital world closely parallels real-life racing. This year’s Sim Expo will also offer seminars to learn about the latest developments in sim racing.  There is also a grand prize on offer – a full simulator worth €10,000.

For the January 2025 event organisers say they expect over 35,000 buyers and enthusiasts to attend.
