Programme
32nd British Classic Car Meeting St. Moritz 2026 – The Tennis Edition!
Following last year’s glamorous Billionaire Edition, the spotlight in 2026 turns to an equally iconic theme: Tennis! In true Wimbledon spirit, the BCCM 2026 builds an elegant bridge between grand hotels, classic automobiles, and society culture on the court – from Strawberries & Cream and Pimm’s to iconic outfits and Slim Aarons moments. The best part: Wimbledon 2026 takes place during the same weekend as the BCCM! Another new feature for 2026: for the first time, a limited number of non-British cars with a direct tennis connection will be admitted – special models such as the Peugeot 205 Roland Garros or Lacoste editions, for example. The final selection will, as always, be made by the organising committee. White will be the dominant colour of 2026, and we warmly encourage you to participate with a classic in white (though colour choice will not affect acceptance).

Warm-up, Tennis Apéro and One-Point Slam
- 6.00 to 8.00 pm: For all participants and partners arriving already on Thursday, we will open BCCM 2026 with a Tennis Apéro at the clubhouse of the St. Moritz Tennis Club. Those who wish can pick up a racket right away and play on our reserved courts. Special guest and sparring partner this evening is Mohammed Al Ghareeb, former tennis professional from Kuwait, who during his career competed against top players such as Roger Federer, Tomáš Berdych or Nikolay Davydenko. Your classic car can be parked in reserved parking spaces around the tennis courts. We will serve apéro and snacks — no dinner. After 8.00 pm, the evening is at your leisure (dinner on your own initiative).
- From 6.30 pm: One-Point Slam (fun tournament) — inspired by the format of the Australian Open: each “match” consists of exactly one single point (sudden death). Whoever wins the point advances to the next round; whoever loses is eliminated. Participation by prior registration. The award ceremony will take place at the end of the evening at around 8.00 pm. An attractive special prize awaits the winner.
