While the 32nd BCCM will be held in true Wimbledon style, the cars are still the stars—and the curators could not have picked a better hero car than this Aston Martin DB3/5, one of only three surviving ex-Works Team cars and a pioneering 1950s factory racer with significant competition history, including victories at the inaugural Goodwood 9 Hours and Sebring. It is, without a doubt, one of Aston Martin's most historically important competition cars. At the British Classic Car Meeting, the Aston Martin will be joined by a fleet of iconic cars made in the United Kingdom.
On Thursday, 9 July 2026, the BCCM 2026 opens with a relaxed Tennis Apéro at the St. Moritz Tennis Club, where participants and their partners can enjoy drinks, snacks, and optional tennis with former professional Mohammad Al Ghareeb. The evening also features the fun One-Point Slam tournament, before guests are free to spend the rest of the evening at their leisure. On Friday, participants register their cars in the heart of St. Moritz, where spectators can admire the entries in a lively atmosphere with music and refreshments. The official programme begins in the evening with the drivers' briefing, followed by a cocktail reception and the Opening Dinner at Badrutt's Palace Hotel.
On Saturday, the rally takes competitors on two spectacular driving loops over the Maloja and Bernina Passes, with an outdoor gourmet picnic in St. Moritz between the stages. The day concludes with finish celebrations in the village and an elegant gala dinner with the rally prize-giving at Suvretta House. On Sunday, the weekend culminates in the Concours d'Élégance in the gardens of Suvretta House, where the cars are judged alongside a "Best Dressed Team" competition in Wimbledon-inspired style. Following the public awards ceremony and a light lunch, participants depart individually after a relaxed afternoon celebrating classic cars in a grand hotel setting.
