Sponsorship search for Grand Race Ukraine–Europa 2026: from retro to electric

In 2026, Ukraine will become a platform for a large-scale automotive project that will combine history, motorsport, classic vehicles and modern technologies. The Open Cup of TSOU "Golden Steering Wheel of Ukraine" Grand Race Ukraine–Europa RUH 2026 is planned for the 35th anniversary of Ukraine's Independence and the 35th anniversary of the TSO of Ukraine. In parallel with the registration of participants, the search for sponsors for automotive events, financial and information partners ready to join the development of the project is underway.

From retro to electric: cars of different generations on one route

One of the features of the Grand Race Ukraine–Europa RUH 2026 is the concept "From retro to electric". Owners of historical and classic cars, modern cars, electric cars, as well as motorcycles with sidecars and other vehicles provided for in the event program are invited to participate.

The main marathon will start on August 21, 2026.

The first stage will last until September 7 and will take place along the Kyiv - Kyiv route through a number of Ukrainian cities.

The second stage is scheduled for September 21-27 along the Kyiv - Lviv route.

The international third stage will take place from September 28 to October 10, 2026 and will include a route from Lviv through European cities with a subsequent return to Ukraine.

Thus, the international Grand Race 2026 automobile marathon will connect the Ukrainian and European parts and will provide an opportunity to present the Ukrainian automobile community abroad.

An important component of the project is the historical mission. The routes are connected with significant pages of Ukrainian history, in particular, the events of the National Liberation War led by Hetman Bohdan Khmelnytsky. The organizers seek to popularize historical memory, Ukrainian cities and cultural heritage through automobile traffic.

What do Grand Race participants get?

Participation in the marathon involves more than just completing the route. According to the organizers, participants will have the opportunity to apply for a sports category, and owners of the relevant historic vehicles will receive an official certificate of recognition of their historic status from the certification commission of experts of Ukraine.

Another feature is the opportunity to join individual stages. To participate, it is not necessary to complete the entire international route. The organizers are planning 35 stages of the rally marathon, and participation in at least one of them may give the opportunity to become part of the planned Ukrainian Record.

For participants in the first stage, 60 cups, 100 medals and 150 diplomas are provided. After participating in the Ukrainian part, owners of retro and electric cars may also have the opportunity to join the final European rally in Lithuania.

The project also has a charitable component. The organizers do not set a fixed registration fee - the participant determines its size independently. It was announced that half of such contributions will be directed to support the SBS Antares battalion.

Grand Race 2026 is looking for sponsors and business partners

Holding a multi-stage automobile marathon in Ukraine and Europe requires organizational, informational and partnership support. Therefore, today the search for sponsors for the Grand Race Ukraine–Europa RUH 2026 is relevant.

Potential partners can be automotive brands, manufacturers and suppliers of auto parts, insurance and logistics companies, gas station chains, tire and lubricant manufacturers, technology companies, tourism and hotel businesses, food industry enterprises and other brands.

For companies, sponsorship of an international retro rally is an opportunity to combine image presence with support for Ukrainian motorsport, historical memory and international representation of Ukraine. The long route and holding events in different cities create additional opportunities for regional and national recognition of partners.

Grand Race Ukraine–Europa RUH 2026 is about historic cars and modern electric cars, sports and travel, Ukrainian cities and international routes. For businesses, this is an opportunity to become a partner in a project that unites different generations around the automotive culture and history of Ukraine.
