Activities and competitions<\/strong><\/p>\n

In addition to on-track action, attendees will find family areas, children\u2019s zones, exhibitions, a motor market, displays and parades. Racing Legends<\/strong> keeps its participatory spirit through two competitions open to the public, clubs and riders entered in the different car and motorcycle racing disciplines.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” row_position_desktop=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” class=”section-block only–bottom” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”1536″ image_size=”full” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”10px” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\n

The sporting competition<\/strong> offers a total prize fund of \u20ac4,000 split between car and motorcycle racing. In the car section, the regularity race will share \u20ac1,000 among the top ten finishers, according to a scale proportional to the number of entries. Another \u20ac1,000 will also be awarded for the best car atmosphere, with prizes for clubs and private entrants. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the motorcycle<\/strong> area, \u20ac2,000 is allocated across the Classic Legends and SS\/SBK Speed Cups, as well as prizes for the best motorcycle atmosphere for clubs and individuals. The judging criteria consider how well it fits the period represented, the quality and safety of the outfit<\/strong>, and the overall thematic integration. <\/p>\n

The atmosphere contest<\/strong> remains open to clubs, riders and fans. Entries must evoke the aesthetics and culture of the period from 1930 to 1989. For individual participants, specific prizes are set in the men\u2019s, women\u2019s and children\u2019s categories, including vouchers for the Circuitienda and tickets for the Motul Grand Prix of the Valencian Community.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” row_position_desktop=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” class=”section-block only–bottom” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”center” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” content_layout=”default” gradient_type=”default”][image_with_animation image_url=”1537″ image_size=”full” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”10px” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]Tickets to experience Racing Legends 2026<\/strong> are now available HERE<\/strong><\/a>[\/vc_column_text][image_with_animation image_url=”1538″ image_size=”full” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”10px” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
