Introduction
September activity increased across the marketplace
September was the most active month in terms of visitors recorded so far in 2026. Sellers published 91 new listings across the Racemarket network, slightly less than in August.
The inventory published during the month carried more than €5.5 million in recorded asking prices, similar to the ones submitted in August. That figure represents the combined numerical asking value of new listings, and it excludes listings offered without a numerical price.
Buyer behaviour followed supply. The listings published in September generated 556 buyer enquiries sent directly to sellers, and one of newly added listings have since been marked as sold.

Concentration
Where are listings coming from?
Once again, September's listings were also highly diverse, with no single car model appearing frequently enough to stand out, therefore we will focus instead on the geographic distribution of listings by country.
| Rank | Country / Listings | New listings |
|---|---|---|
| 01 | Italy | 15 |
| 02 | Poland | 10 |
| 03 | Spain | 7 |
| 04 | Netherlands | 5 |
| 05 | France | 4 |

Balance
Supply meets demand
Supply is what sellers choose to publish. Demand is what buyers search for. The two rarely align perfectly, and the gap between them is where pricing pressure and opportunity appear.

*General brands represent searches that are impossible to categorize as the query might contain brand name only like "Porsche, BMW etc".
September market observation
Rallycross supply spikes, but Rally Raid demand cools.
The clearest trend this month is a surge in new Rallycross submissions, though buyer enquiry levels have yet to catch up. Across the network, core buyer interest remains concentrated in circuit race cars and conventional rally machinery. Conversely, while Rally Raid inventory reached a seasonal peak with 20 new listings, search demand has dropped sharply as the competitive calendar winds down and entry deadlines for events like the Dakar Rally draw to a close. Despite a minor dip in new listings (-10%) and direct email enquiries (-8%), buyer engagement depth surged—driven by a 25% increase in unique visitors spending more time analyzing available listings.
Measurement
Looking beyond traffic
Visitor counts describe reach, not intent. Racemarket tracks the behaviour that follows a visit, because each step closer to a transaction tells a different part of the market story.

- Fastest-growing categories
- Most searched vehicles
- Supply versus demand
- Geographic trends

Explore Racemarket ApexMethodology & data notes
- Unique visitors
- Represents the number of unique visitors recorded on the Racemarket marketplace during the reporting period. Due to GDPR and cookie-consent requirements, analytics can only measure visitors who have consented to tracking. The actual number of visitors is therefore expected to be higher than the reported figure.
- New listings
- Refers to listings published during the reporting month.
- Combined asking value
- Represents the sum of numerical asking prices recorded for listings published during the reporting month. It is not transaction value, sales revenue or an estimate of total market value. Excludes listings added with price not specified.
- Listings marked sold
- Refers to listings from the relevant reporting period that were subsequently marked as sold. This figure should not be interpreted as the total number of transactions completed during the month. Some sellers leave listings active until they expire, while others remove their listings without marking them as sold. These listings are not included in this statistic.
- Buyer enquiries
- Represents enquiries submitted by users to sellers through the Racemarket marketplace during the reporting period. This metric includes only enquiries submitted through the marketplace enquiry form and excludes contacts made via phone or WhatsApp.
- Price disclaimer
- Some listings are published with an asking price such as “Ask for price” rather than a numerical value. Because these listings contain no numerical price in the database, they are not included in the combined asking-value calculation. The reported figure therefore represents the minimum recorded asking value of new listings with a numerical price, rather than the total potential value of all listings published during the month.
