Is This Event Right For You?
Best fit if you enjoy championship finales — European Series season-ender determines final standings, 27th edition since 1998 carries title implications, Fermín Vélez Trophy honors two-time World Sportscar champion who founded the event.
Best fit if you value accessible endurance racing — €10 general admission includes paddock access to GT3, GT4, touring car teams during twice-round-the-clock format, enthusiast-focused atmosphere without corporate hospitality emphasis.
Best fit if you like multi-class competition — separate GT3, GT4, sports car, touring car, 24H-Specials classes race simultaneously, 4.657km all-rounder circuit tests endurance across straights, sweeping turns, technical sections.
Not ideal if you prefer single-day events — continuous overnight racing format within Friday-Sunday weekend window requires full 24-hour commitment or acceptance of missing overnight hours, unlike sprint race series.
