ACA Hosts Third Nit del Motor Gala, Unveils 2026 CAAM Calendar

The Automòbil Club d’Andorra (ACA) hosted its third Nit del Motor gala on Friday at Sala La Consòrcia in the Centre de Congressos in Andorra la Vella, drawing government officials, sports figures, drivers, teams, and sponsors.

The event unfolded in three main sections: institutional speeches, a sports review, and awards. ACA president Enric Tarrado Vives emphasised the club's non-profit mission since 1954 to promote motorsport, national visibility, and young talent development. Culture, Youth and Sports Minister Mònica Bonell Tuset commended the discipline, effort, and teamwork in the sport, while pledging ongoing government backing to bolster Andorra's sports ecosystem and global standing. ACA sports commission president Toni Santacreu Coma recapped the 2025 season, spotlighting the CAAM's return with robust national driver participation across four rounds and the 54th Andorra Rally.

A season highlight video led into the 2026 calendar reveal by ACA general secretary Toti Sasplugas Teixidó. The CAAM will include five rounds at Arinsal (two events), Arcalís, La Peguera, and Beixalís, with regulatory updates to simplify rules, heighten competition, and widen access. Key changes eliminate categories, cut group numbers, and launch the Promosport class for affordable cars. Races will see improved formats, timing systems, and live data availability, culminating in one overall CAAM champion. The 55th Andorra Rally is scheduled for 6-7 November, featuring 551 km total with eight timed stages in speed, regularity, and sport regularity, based in Andorra la Vella.

The night ended with CAAM 2025 honours for group and category winners. Joan Gil secured the Sport class and overall championship in a Silver Car S3. Erik Faura dominated Production Touring Cars in a Cupra Leon, and Cristian Mayoralas topped VHC in a Volkswagen Golf GTI. Champions expressed gratitude to fellow competitors, teams, institutions, and sponsors for fuelling Andorran motorsport's growth.
