Rally Quaranta Miglia Viva la Primavera 19.04.2026


Rally Quaranta Miglia 2026
Viva la Primavera



Rally Quaranta Miglia is a unique take on classic touring car rallies. The event’s format is inspired by Europe’s most renowned vintage car rallies, combining a one-day scenic drive around Warsaw’s surroundings with a variety of engaging challenges for participants – including manual tasks, quiz questions, and location-based assignments.


More than just a rally, Rally Quaranta Miglia is an opportunity to enjoy an active day among enthusiasts of vintage and collector cars. Each event also has a sightseeing aspect, as we seek out fascinating and lesser-known places worth exploring. With the support of our rally partners, we organise interactive challenges along the route.


The rally’s organisers, Agata and Artur, are true petrolheads who have been deeply involved in the automotive industry for years, across various sectors. By combining their expertise, they have created an event that is simply unmissable!

Registration Form


Incidentally, this date is almost exactly the date of the first ever CCC expedition, to Nieborów, 13 years ago (20th April 2013)! 

Rather a cliché I know but how time flies and yet the CCC continues to exist! 

How young Błazej looks !

Classica Mierzęcin 11th June - 14th June 2026 Poland - RREC Polish Section , CCC, other car clubs and any enthusiastic individuals

CLASSICA MIERZĘCIN JUNE 11-14, 2026



A little history of the venue first !

The Neo-Gothic style palace building is surrounded by a large landscape park with Arcadian features reminiscent of the English landscape garden designer William Kent at Rousham. The Octagonal Tower dominates the façade; balconies are decorated with balustrades and terracotta statues of eagles. The German architect Friedrich Hitzig is said to have been the designer of the palace. On the 9th of July 1998 the palace, together with the manor, was purchased by NOVOL - a Polish car paint company. Between 1999 and 2001, thanks to the generous efforts of the new owners, the palace was thoroughly renovated with great artistic panache.



We are thrilled to invite you to the next edition of Classica Mierzęcin – a gathering of vintage motoring enthusiasts at Mierzęcin Palace ! 

This annual tradition brings together enthusiasts of motoring, good style, and the unique atmosphere of our palace surroundings.

Get ready for a few days full of excitement, relaxation and shared passion: picturesque routes, tastings, concerts and unforgettable moments with special people. 

Save the date in your calendar – June 11–14, 2026 – and be part of an event that combines elegance, adventure and the unique atmosphere of Mierzęcin Palace.

Details and reservations coming soon!
