Racing Legends make TABAC Classic GP Assen 2024 Unforgettable


The third edition of the TABAC Classic GP at the TT Circuit was a huge success. The program featured 21 car and motorcycle races, various stunning demonstrations, and a paddock filled with historic race cars, sidecars, motorcycles, and even mopeds. Visitors experienced a weekend full of speed, nostalgia, and unforgettable moments.

One of the absolute highlights of the event was the appearance of former world champion Emerson Fittipaldi. The Brazilian Formula 1 legend got behind the wheel of the iconic black and gold Lotus 72, the car with which he won his first F1 world title in 1972. It was the first time the motorsport legend visited Assen, alongside his son, Emerson Fittipaldi Jr., who also raced in the Eurocup3 car from MP Motorsport. More F1 cars took to the track during the TABAC Classic GP, including the Benetton B192, in which Michael Schumacher claimed his first F1 victory. This car was driven by Britain's Lorina McLoughlin. Watching these exclusive race cars, especially the magical Lotus F1 with Fittipaldi, gave the audience goosebumps, as many flocked to witness this unique spectacle.

Sidecar Legends Return to Assen Multiple World Championship sidecar champions Steve Webster and Rolf Biland made their return to the 'Cathedral of Speed.' More than thirty years after their glory days, they gave demonstrations with the sidecars that helped them win several world titles. For many in the audience, it was a special moment to see these historic machines back in action. Young Dutch Moto3 star Collin Veijer made his appearance on Sunday and received a warm welcome from his fans.

Historic Races and Demonstrations The TABAC Classic GP offered a rich overview of racing history, ranging from pre-war sports cars from the Dutch Vintage Sports Car Club to classic motorcycles that revived the magic of old GP bikes on the nearly 100-year-old circuit of Drenthe. There were also impressive racing cars from the Tourenwagen Legends, with famous DTM cars battling it out.

Mopeds on the Track with JMPB BromfieTTs On Saturday, the JMPB BromfieTTs took place at the TT Circuit Assen, the largest moped event in the Netherlands. Thousands of moped enthusiasts returned to their "moped days" and rode their favorite 50cc two-wheelers around the famous track.

A Memorable Racing Weekend in Assen With the presence of motorsport legends like Emerson Fittipaldi, Steve Webster, and Rolf Biland, a packed racing program, numerous demonstrations, autograph sessions, and meet-and-greets with famous drivers, along with a memorable atmosphere, the TABAC Classic GP Assen became an event motorsport fans will cherish for a long time.
