The story

Classic Race Aarhus in Aarhus

Classic Race Aarhus staged around three hundred historic and vintage racing cars on a temporary street circuit through Marselisborg Park, marketed as Northern Europe's most beautiful racing festival. The three-day spring event ran for roughly a decade and included a children's soapbox cart race alongside the main historic car competitions, though its operating status has varied following financial difficulties.

Classic Race Aarhus brought together around three hundred historic and vintage racing cars, spanning designs from the 1930s through to more recent decades, on a temporary street circuit through Marselisborg Park in the heart of Aarhus.
