Laps ahead of other automotive events, TRAX offers unique ways to get involved. Club or individuals can bring your own car and show it off at the heart of the action, or take it for a spin around the legendary Silverstone Circuit. Take it up a gear by taking on the challenge of Silverstone’s purpose-built karting circuit, or raise the adrenaline by taking a ‘Drift Taxi’, and experience high-octane sideways action first-hand.

A packed programme of live entertainment throughout the day includes Steve ‘Baggsy’ Biagioni unveiling his spectacular 1,000bhp Toyota Corolla GR drift build at its first-ever modified car show. Be pinned to your seat by smoke-filled Matsuri Drift Kings demos, featuring some of the UK’s top sideways speed and slewing talent.

Celebrating the clubs, communities and personalities that drive UK car culture forward, meet automotive YouTuber Mark McCann, and some of the UK’s most influential female automotive creators and builders at the inspiring ‘Women in the Scene’ showcase.

Jaw-dropping lunchtime stunt shows from Baggsy, Drift Kings, wild autograss action, and off-road ace Luke Woodham guarantees all-day live-action entertainment on and off the track.

Event organiser Phil Weeden says: “Whether you’re into modified cars, motorsport, drifting, show cars, track driving or simply love great automotive culture, TRAX has something for you. Dedicated to bringing the entire performance car community together, admire incredible builds, meet the personalities behind them, get hands-on, and truly experience the thrills of the circuit yourself!”
