Welcome to the world of ZOUTE GRAND PRIX.
The four pillars of ZOUTE GRAND PRIX
At ZOUTE GRAND PRIX, we go beyond just an automotive event—we create an exclusive experience where passion, luxury, and excellence come together. Our philosophy is built on four key pillars that define the essence of ZOUTE GRAND PRIX:
Organizing exceptional rallies
From thrilling rally routes to flawlessly coordinated logistics, we bring together the most stunning classic, iconic and luxury cars for unforgettable driving experiences.
Connecting Like-minded enthusiasts
A gathering of passionate collectors, connoisseurs, and automotive aficionados who share a love for timeless cars and exclusivity.
Culinary Excellence at the Highest Level
Guests indulge in the finest gastronomy, with top chefs and premium dining experiences elevating the event to a true lifestyle celebration.
Unmatched Hospitality experiences
We ensure every guest enjoys world-class service, premium experiences, and the warmest welcome in a setting of pure elegance.
Committed to Excellence with BEHVA Certification
At ZOUTE GRAND PRIX, we take pride in organizing rallies that meet the highest standards of safety, quality, and authenticity. That’s why all our rallies are officially recognized under the BEHVA (Belgian Historic Vehicle Association) label.
This certification ensures that every ZOUTE GRAND PRIX rally complies with the necessary regulations, offering participants a premium and worry-free experience. From meticulously planned routes to top-tier organization, we guarantee an event where passion for classic and luxury automobiles meets professionalism and excellence.
As always, safety—for everyone, both participants and the public—is our priority. The tests are conducted on closed circuits, and all vehicles must comply with Belgian and European road regulations during the tour, which takes place on public roads. Additionally, all cars are equipped with a tracking system to ensure speed is strictly monitored, further enhancing the rally’s reputation as a safe and enjoyable event.
Historic Motoring Event of the Year 2021
In 2021 the jury unanimously designated us as winner in the category 'Historic Motoring Event of the Year!
In October 2021, the 12th edition of the ZOUTE GRAND PRIX WEEK took place in Knokke-Heist. What started in 2010 as an old-timer rally among friends who share a passion and love for beautiful historic cars has grown into one of the largest and most prestigious events for enthusiasts of both historic and modern cars worldwide. The visitors had the opportunity to marvel at over 400 unique vehicles spread across the Prado Zoute, an impressive pavilion set up on the beach, the Zoute Rally by stow, the Zoute GT Tour, and the Zoute Concours d’Élégance by EY, held on the grounds of the Royal Zoute Golf Club.
This outstanding achievement has not gone unnoticed among classic car enthusiasts. The event was earlier nominated for the Historic Motoring Awards 2021 in the category of MOTORING EVENT OF THE YEAR. We found ourselves in good company alongside events such as Goodwood SpeedWeek (UK) and Pebble Beach RetroAuto (US)."
For us, this is not only a recognition for the past years, but above all a confirmation for our ambitious plans for the future.
