The Porsche Paddock Rendezvous will return to Spa-Francorchamps for the 2026 Michelin 992 Endurance Cup following the success of last year’s showcase.
Creventic, Porsche Club Spa-Francorchamps and Vierenzestig.nl will again organise the gathering alongside the 12-hour Porsche one-make endurance race, which takes place on Saturday, 5 September.
The initiative gives Porsche owners the opportunity to bring their own cars into the Spa paddock and display them in a dedicated area throughout the event. Organisers will once again complement the display with additional hospitality and track experiences as the Michelin 992 Endurance Cup brings Porsche competitors and enthusiasts together in the Belgian Ardennes.
Porsche owners return to heart of Spa paddock
The Porsche Paddock Rendezvous has developed into one of the key attractions surrounding the Michelin 992 Endurance Cup, providing road and race car owners with their own area inside the paddock.
Owners can display their cars alongside other examples from the Stuttgart manufacturer while meeting fellow enthusiasts and spectators. The collection will feature a wide range of Porsche machinery, with both road-going models and competition cars forming part of the showcase.
The Rendezvous therefore extends the Porsche focus beyond the cars competing in the 12-hour race itself. While the Michelin 992 Endurance Cup centres on race-specification Porsche 911 GT3 Cup (992) machinery, the paddock gathering gives visitors an opportunity to see a broader selection of models in one place.
Grand Marquee adds hospitality and simulator experience
Creventic will also operate its Grand Marquee within the Spa paddock, giving participants and spectators access to a dedicated lounge area away from the circuit action.
Coffee and soft drinks will be available, while motorsport memorabilia and artwork will form part of the displays inside. Racing simulators will also give visitors an opportunity to experience virtual competition during the weekend.
The lounge provides another focal point for Porsche enthusiasts throughout the event, complementing the vehicle display and the endurance race programme on track.
VIP Spa track session returns
One of the highlights of the 2025 Porsche Paddock Rendezvous will also return, with organisers planning another dedicated track session for participating Porsche owners.
The experience allows owners to take their own cars onto the Spa-Francorchamps circuit, giving them an opportunity to drive the same 7.004-kilometre venue used by the Michelin 992 Endurance Cup competitors.
Scheduling and pricing for the 2026 session have not yet been confirmed, but organisers intend to again include it among the additional opportunities available to Rendezvous participants.
Premium VIP package also available
Porsche Paddock Rendezvous participants can further upgrade their weekend through an additional VIP hospitality package.
The package includes breakfast, lunch and dinner in the Creventic Endurance Lounge, alongside all-day access and complimentary drinks and snacks. It provides a more comprehensive hospitality option for guests who want to spend the entire event within the paddock environment.
Standard Porsche Paddock Rendezvous tickets cost €40 and are available to all Porsche owners. The ticket also includes access to the starting grid before the Michelin 992 Endurance Cup gets underway, bringing participants directly alongside the cars and teams preparing for the 12-hour contest.
With dedicated paddock parking, hospitality, a planned track session and pre-race grid access joining the on-track action, the returning Porsche Paddock Rendezvous will once again form a significant part of the Michelin 992 Endurance Cup weekend at Spa-Francorchamps.
