Venniper Queen Stage 2026

The annual classic car race, organized by the Venniper Koninginnerit Foundation, will take place on Sunday, April 19, 2026. With this new edition, the organizers are introducing a wider model year limit, while the character of the event remains unchanged. For 2026, the Venniper Koninginnerit will adhere to the current classic car regulations. This means that vehicles 40 years and older will be used as the starting point. Specifically, cars manufactured in 1986 or earlier can register. According to the organizers, this limit better reflects the current composition of the rolling stock. For younger cars with a special history or exclusivity, customized solutions remain possible; these registrations will be assessed individually. The innovations are partly based on a recent participant survey. This revealed valuable insights and requests that the organizers will gradually implement in the coming years. A first step is the introduction of a rally app, which allows for faster and more accurate processing of answers during the race and contributes to the smooth running of the event. In addition to content innovations, the organizers can count on consistent support. Four main sponsors—De Meerse Accountants & Adviseurs, Van Poelgeest BMW MINI, Meijer Tegels & Sanitair, and Intertraining—have committed to the Venniper Koninginnerit for several years. Chairman Michael Reuling sees this as an important foundation for the future: "With these main sponsors on board, we are laying a solid foundation for the future of the Venniper Koninginnerit. Their commitment gives us the freedom to continue investing in quality and the experience." Participants can count on a fully catered day, with coffee and pastries at the start, a carefully planned route in sports and touring classes by Fred Hak, a road bag, a generous lunch, and a convivial finish with music and snacks. Registration for the Venniper Koninginnerit on April 19, 2026, is now open at www.vkrit.nl.
