Classic & Racing Cars

“There are the amateurs.
The gentleman drivers.
Those who’ve been enthusiasts since childhood.
The racing fans.
The design geeks.
The specialists in flat 6s, V8s, V12s and many other engine types.”

As a benchmark in high-end real estate and a global ambassador for the French art de vivre, BARNES always goes the extra mile. Beyond the purchasing of a primary or secondary residence, BARNES provides an exceptional range of bespoke services, from private aviation to yachting, including a luxury concierge service.

Headed by car and driving enthusiast François Léauté, BARNES Classic & Racing Cars represents a new chapter in the BARNES story.

Rallying and an extraordinary weekend

Beautiful cars, gorgeous routes, prestigious locations… the BARNES Rallies are a unique event in the art de vivre sector. Charm, elegance, driving pleasure, an opportunity to share and explore with like-minded individuals… We guarantee the crews who join us on this adventure an experience like no other.

If you’re a beautiful car owner and enthusiast and like to give the engine some breathing space on sleek, winding roads, then why not join us to explore superb landscapes and experience new sensations with your teammate. Then in the evening drop off the keys and partake in a discussion on architecture, design and legendary locations while celebrating French art de vivre with like-minded enthusiasts over dinner. Get your pride and joy ready and get yourself a piece of the BARNES Rallies action!

Circuit racing

Did you used to dream about Formula 1 Grand Prix races in Monaco, Spa and Monza as a child? Did you get a thrill out of the speed, technology and prestige of a racing car? If you’re fascinated by the world of motor-racing and want to learn more about it, then BARNES is ready to make your dream come true!

Experience driving a real racing car, a Formula Renault 2.0 single-seater, giving much greater performance in terms of agility, grip and weight-power ratio compared to any of the highly-esteemed sports cars you know.

We’re organising a day for a small group to join us to share an exceptional experience under the best possible conditions. Adrenalin, thrills and spills guaranteed! Join the BARNES Racing Cars teams for some unique and unforgettable memory-making.

Gentlemen, start your engines!
