About This Event
Espíritu de Montjuïc is the Barcelona round of the Le Mans Classic Series in 2027, with more than 300 historic GTs, touring cars and sports prototypes racing over one weekend. The name comes from Montjuïc, the hillside street circuit in the city once called the magic mountain, and the meeting brings that era of racing back on the Grand Prix circuit at Montmeló.
1What to Expect
Peter Auto's Le Mans Classic Series is the headline in 2027, with more than 300 cars entered across grids of GTs, touring cars and sports prototypes.
The series is Peter Auto's championship for historic sports, GT and touring cars: in 2026 it ran eight rounds around Europe, mostly in France, across 10 categories.
The meeting runs over the Easter weekend, Good Friday 2 April to Easter Sunday 4 April 2027.
The racing is at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya in Montmeló, the home of the MotoGP Grand Prix of Catalunya.
2Best Way to Experience It
- General entry in 2026 included the paddock and every show area, so the cars could be seen up close between sessions as well as on track. The 2027 ticket types are not yet announced.
- The guided visit in 2026 was a Saturday or Sunday add on that took in the briefing room, the pre podium, the podium and the fourth floor terrace of the control tower, starting from the circuit shop in the paddock next to the tower.

5Frequently Asked Questions
?Suitable for kids?
In 2026 children aged 8 and under entered free with an adult and needed no ticket. The guided visit needed a ticket for every child, whatever their age.
?Want to bring your classic?
In 2026 a classic (built before 1996) or a youngtimer (a top sports car of the 1980s or 1990s) could buy a car entry covering 1 car, 1 person and 1 day, parked in a reserved area inside the circuit, with passengers on general tickets. Unique cars could apply for Parking Premium by emailing photos of the car to info@targaiberia.com for approval. 2027 car entries are not yet announced.
?Want to race?
Car entries for the racing go through Peter Auto, the series organiser, not the spectator ticket site.
?After hospitality?
The 2026 Hospitality Experience was for guests aged 16 and over, with an open bar from 10:00 to 17:00, breakfast and lunch on Saturday and Sunday and a parking space inside the circuit. It did not include event entry, so a general ticket was needed as well.
