Bold but well-considered, Zoute Events started in 2010 with a sensational old-timer event: the Zoute Grand Prix . Meanwhile, this event shows an astonishing growth pattern. Every year has to be better than the previous edition, and herein lies the challenge that the organization poses to Veldeman for the covering of the event! Better in innovative materials and shapes, better in a personalized appearance, better in logistical timing… Everything has to be perfect down to the smallest details!


Veldeman is building for this project at two different locations.


For Prado Zoute, all tent structures had to be built on the beach and they had to be raised to dike height. A tough challenge for the experienced mechanics of Veldeman, which they took on with great enthusiasm and perseverance.

They built about 200m aluminum halls that served as a gallery for exclusive car brands such as Aston Martin, Bentley, Maserati, … From the gallery visitors had access to the Zoute Sale, where they could follow the auction live by the well-known auction house Bonhams and where some of the most special cars changed hands. This continued in the impressive Boxx structure of 30m wide, 60m long and more than 10m high. Two aluminum halls were used as exhibition space for the cars that were auctioned by the renowned Bonhams auction house. Veldeman also provided a covered start and finish for the Zoute Rally and terraces from which the Rally could be followed. Various aluminum halls served as cloakrooms, backstage areas, shops, etc.


Within a short period of time, a second location also had to be built, the Royal Zoute Golf Club (Concours D'Elegance). The tight schedule of the Golf Club, which still had a busy event calendar in the run-up to Zoute Grand Prix, had to be taken into account here.

At the Royal Zoute Golf Club, Veldeman built floor platforms around the fairways for a special and spectacular exhibition of 75 unique classic & vintage cars. An aluminum hall of 1,625 m² with accompanying terrace floors and kitchen tent were used for a gala dinner.


All tent structures were personalized by means of stickers.


Veldeman ensured meticulous planning and excellent coordination on site for this handsome total project, to the great satisfaction of the organization!
