Cars compete separately in various classes, including a large number of vehicles in the pre-World War II class. Around 200 vintage cars participate, such as Bentley's from the 1920s, Bugatti's from the 1930s, Jaguar's and Porsche's from the 1950s and Lotus Cortina's, Alfa Romeo's and Jaguar E's from the 1960s. The only non-historic car to participate in the event was the Zenvo ST1.

The event also features other races, such as the Danish Thundersport Championship, Super GT Danmark, TCR Denmark, Pure ETCR, and Legends Cars.
