Dear Members and Friends, The beginning of 2026 reminded us exactly why we built this community. At LeCarage Amsterdam, the year has begun with momentum. Remarkable classics recently joined our storage collection, the kind of arrival that quietly shifts the atmosphere in the building. In the detailing bays, the standard has been equally high: precision work on some truly exceptional cars, each treated with the respect and craftsmanship they deserve. It is always rewarding to see machines restored to their absolute best before returning to the road or the collection floor. Beyond Amsterdam, February took us trackside. Together with our partner Classic Car Ratings, I attended the Rolex 24 at Daytona.The car we sponsor finished an impressive fourth after 24 hours of disciplined, relentless racing. A result built on precision and resilience. Our sincere thanks to United Autosports for their outstanding hospitality throughout the weekend. Their professionalism on and off the track reflects the very best of endurance racing. We also had the privilege of witnessing a historic classic race featuring a true beauty from the past, driven by none other than Zak Brown. Zak generously took time to join us on the grid, a rare and appreciated moment at one of the world’s most demanding race events. Daytona remains one of the purest expressions of international endurance racing. If you have never experienced it, I can only recommend placing it firmly on next year’s calendar. Let me know if you are interested and we will get you front row. From Florida asphalt to Austrian ice. At the F.A.T. Ice Race in Zell am See, we experienced car culture in its most unfiltered form. Exceptional machinery on snow. Extraordinary people around it. A weekend of new friendships and shared enthusiasm. Racing, sliding, and simply enjoying cars as they are meant to be enjoyed. And indeed, towing a skier behind a race car across ice may not appear in the official FIA race programs. But at F.A.T. that is precisely the point.
This is the spirit we carry into the months ahead: considered events, meaningful partnerships, and cars prepared to be driven, not merely admired. Onwards to the next pages. Warm regards, Johan van Kampen
