The Oostblok Meeting is a classic car meeting for vehicles from the former Eastern Bloc. It's a unique opportunity to see these cars - especially on this side of the Iron Curtain - and glimpse into a world that many thought had disappeared. Eastern Bloc vehicle owners from across Belgium, as well as the Netherlands, Germany, UK and France, have taken part in previous editions, with camping, live music, open-air cinema, car boot sales and even a pop-up GDR museum.
We are already working hard on our 9th edition, takes place on 04 and 05 September, 2026 at the Glosso circuit in Arendonk.
Built for the most challenging conditions
Prepared for the tough conditions of the eastern roads, from the GDR to the remote areas of the USSR or the windy Balkan roads, these vehicles proved that they could cope with everyday challenges. Affordable and easy to repair, they competed in the toughest motorsport competitions in the world and achieved the unthinkable. From Monte-Carlo to Paris-Dakar, these cars became legends.
