The Ch'ti Classic 2026: The Must-Attend Event for Porsche Enthusiasts


Good news for all flat-six lovers! Mecatechnic is proud to be a partner of the Ch'ti Classic 2026, one of the largest Porsche gatherings in France, which will take place on September 12 and 13, 2026, in Hardelot-Plage (Neufchâtel-Hardelot, Pas-de-Calais).

Two days, one passion: the Porsche, in all its forms and across all generations. For over a decade now, the Porsche Club Tourcoing has been transforming this charming seaside resort on the Opal Coast into a massive 100% Porsche parking lot every summer, and the event continues to grow in scale. For the 2026 edition, more than 500 vehicles are expected, ranging from the legendary 356 and long-hood 911 models to the latest contemporary models.


Saturday, September 12: Rallies and Cars & Coffee

The festivities kick off on Saturday! Two roadbook-guided drives are organized, departing from Aire-sur-la-Lys and Bergues, winding through the Artois region and the Boulogne hinterland, and ending in Hardelot in a convoy. A great way to warm up the engines before Sunday’s big gathering.

All day long, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., a Cars & Coffee event is open to everyone free of charge and without registration, around the exhibitors’ village in Hardelot. Do you own a Porsche but weren’t able to register for the main event? Don’t worry, Cars & Coffee is open to all Porsche enthusiasts who want to get a sneak peek of the Ch’ti Classic atmosphere.

In the evening, the Ch'ti Dinner brings all participants together for a fun-filled evening of music and dancing, just as it should be among enthusiasts.


Sunday, September 13: The Grand Gathering

This is the highlight of the weekend. Starting at 8:30 a.m., entire streets in Hardelot are closed to traffic and transformed into a massive parking lot reserved exclusively for Porsches. The vehicles are arranged by model and generation: a journey through time and across the Porsche lineup, with the North Sea as a backdrop.

On the day’s agenda:


The Porsche Swap: a unique experience where participants swap passenger seats to share the joy of driving different generations of Porsches, from classic to modern models, and back again.

The grand finale parade at 4 p.m.: all the Porsches in attendance will parade through the streets of Hardelot and along the waterfront. A breathtaking spectacle.

The exhibitors' village, featuring professionals, artists, and partners…



Whether you’re a Porsche owner, a fan of the brand, or just curious, the Ch’ti Classic is open to everyone, admission is free for spectators. Take this opportunity to enjoy one of the most beautiful Porsche gatherings in France, set against the backdrop of an exceptional seaside location.
