FIVA World Events

For many years FIVA has encouraged our Members and other historic vehicle owners to participate in what are called FIVA World Events. These events are held annually, for cars, for motorcycles and for utilitarian vehicles and are usually organised by an ANF or a prominent Club member within a national ANF. "FIVA World Events” for cars and motorcycles are generally 4-7 day non-competitive tours of countries visiting interesting and scenic locations during the days’ motoring. Overnight Hotels and daily meals are organised for entrants as part of the package and various attractions and entertainment are included where available and appropriate. For 2026 we will be running at least two World Events, one for Motorcycles and one for Cars. These events are often oversubscribed – so please keep an eye on the Events calendar as more detailed information will be available. To assist organisers when planning and running these events the Events Commission has provided a special guide to help them along the way. Please refer to the FIVA Events Code for more information.
