Classic, modern sports cars to shine at Istanbul race event

An exclusive car racing event, Baume and Mercier Istanbul Classic - Hill Climb will take place on Nov. 19 in Istanbul's coastal Şile district, promising to offer special time to classic car enthusiasts.

In their classic and modern sports cars, the participants will drive along a climbing route. For the first edition, around 30 sports cars will join the upcoming race. Participants will drive along the course route two times and to make it a friendly race, the timing will be flexible.

For the upcoming editions, the race venues are planned to be extended to other suitable places around Istanbul as well as other cities. Sponsored by Baume & Mercier, the event is organized by the Istanbul Concours d'Elegance Group that holds annual classic car exhibition events.
