Here Are The Top 10 Reasons You Can’t Miss TRAX 2026…

TRAX returns to Silverstone on Sunday 16 August 2026, bringing together everything that makes performance car culture great. From world-first build reveals and 120mph drifting to track sessions, supercars and thousands of incredible display cars, there’s more happening than ever before. Still on the fence? Here are 10 reasons why TRAX 2026 deserves a place in your diary.

1. Mark McCann’s Bugatti Veyron Rebuild Could Make Its Public Debut

One of the biggest names in automotive YouTube is heading to TRAX. Mark McCann will be appearing throughout the day, meeting fans, taking to the live stage and choosing his favourite car from the entire event. But that’s not the headline. If everything goes to plan, TRAX could host the first public unveiling of Mark’s hugely anticipated Bugatti Veyron rebuild project. The internet has been following every stage of the build, and Silverstone could be where enthusiasts finally get to see the finished car in person for the very first time.

2. See Baggsy’s 1000bhp GR Corolla In Action

Steve “Baggsy” Biagioni isn’t known for doing things by halves. His latest project transforms Toyota’s GR Corolla into a 1000bhp drift weapon powered by the legendary 2JZ engine, and TRAX visitors will be among the first people anywhere to see it unleashed. Forget static displays and roped-off exhibits. Baggsy will be putting the car through its paces during the Drift Kings demonstrations, giving fans a chance to witness one of the most talked-about builds of 2026 doing exactly what it was built to do.

3. Drift Kings Delivers The UK’s Wildest Drift Action

You’ve seen drifting before. You probably haven’t seen it like this. Drift Kings takes place three times throughout the day and sees some of Britain’s top drivers attacking Silverstone’s famous Brooklands section at speeds of more than 120mph. The speed, commitment and proximity are on another level. It’s loud, smoky, spectacular and easily one of the biggest crowd-pullers of the entire event.

4. Experience Drifting From The Passenger Seat

Watching from the barriers is one thing. Sitting inside the car while it happens is something else entirely. For just £35, Drift Taxi rides put you alongside a professional driver for an unforgettable passenger experience. Expect tyre smoke pouring through the windows, impossible steering angles and a whole new appreciation for what these drivers are capable of. If you’ve never experienced drifting from inside the car, prepare yourself.

5. Race Your Mates At Kart Silverstone

Think you’ve got what it takes behind the wheel? Kart Silverstone will be open exclusively to TRAX visitors, giving you the opportunity to put your driving skills to the test on one of the UK’s best karting facilities. Whether you’re chasing lap records or simply settling a long-running argument with your mates, it’s another way to get involved rather than just watch from the sidelines.

6. Drive Silverstone For Just £40

There aren’t many opportunities to drive one of the world’s most famous circuits. There are even fewer that cost just £40. TRAX track sessions remain one of the best-value experiences in UK motorsport, giving enthusiasts the chance to drive their own car around Silverstone’s National Circuit layout without the cost of a traditional track day. Whether you’re bringing a track build, a hot hatch or your pride and joy, this is your chance to experience Silverstone from the driver’s seat.

7. The Retail Village Will Empty Your Wallet

Consider this your warning. The TRAX Retail Village is packed with some of the biggest brands in the modified car industry, offering everything from performance upgrades and detailing products to clothing, accessories and exclusive event merchandise. If you’re looking for parts, inspiration or simply an excuse to spend money on your car, you’ll find it here.

8. TRAX Might Have The Best VIP Package In The Scene

Want to experience TRAX properly? The VIP upgrade includes a merchandise bundle worth more than the upgrade itself, including a VIP T-shirt, sticker pack, socks, lanyard, flight tag and a pair of BILSTEIN sunglasses. You’ll also gain access to the exclusive Brooklands Suite alongside lunch and refreshments throughout the day. For anyone planning to make a full day of it, it’s exceptional value. More info can be found here.

9. Some Of Britain’s Best Modified Cars Will Be On Display

TRAX has always attracted serious machinery. Alongside thousands of club display vehicles, the new TRAX Icons display will showcase 20 of the finest modified cars in the country, bringing together some of the most influential, innovative and inspiring builds in the scene. Whether you’re planning your next project or simply appreciating the craftsmanship involved, this is one area you won’t want to miss.

10. The Grid By Chemical Guys

New for 2026, The Grid by Chemical Guys brings a dedicated Show and Shine competition to TRAX. Positioned outside the Chemical Guys Garage, this premium display area will showcase some of the cleanest, most detailed vehicles attending the event. Expect flawless paintwork, immaculate engine bays and detailing standards that border on obsession. If you’ve spent countless weekends perfecting your own car, this is where you’ll want to be.

And That’s Still Not Everything…

Those 10 highlights are only scratching the surface. TRAX 2026 will also feature more than 3,500 club display cars, Motorsport Heroes demonstrations, NILFISK displays, the Women in the Scene area, Hot Hatch Heroes, live entertainment and plenty more attractions still to be announced. The result is a full day of automotive action unlike anything else in the UK. Take a look at the What’s On page for all of the action that will be going down on the 16th of August.
