American Corner Returns to TRAX 2026 – Bigger, Louder and Better Than Ever
Following a hugely successful debut in 2025, the American Corner is back at TRAX 2026, bringing an even bigger celebration of Stateside horsepower to Silverstone on 16 August 2026.
Whether you’re into rumbling muscle cars, slammed pickups, fire-breathing drag cars or beautifully restored classics, the American Corner will once again be home to an incredible display of iconic machinery from across the pond. It’s the perfect place to experience the bold styling, massive engines and unmistakable attitude that define American automotive culture.
Lay ‘n’ Play Lowriders Return
Back by popular demand, the incredible Lay ‘n’ Play crew will once again be bringing their jaw-dropping lowrider display to TRAX. Throughout the day they’ll be putting on three live demonstrations, showcasing the skills and engineering behind the scene with everything from three-wheeling to hopping and the signature hydraulic tricks that have made lowriders famous around the world. If you’ve never seen a lowrider dancing in person, prepare to be amazed.
New for 2026: Scheduled Start-Ups
There’s one thing better than seeing a row of American V8s… and that’s hearing them. New for 2026, the American Corner will host two scheduled start-up sessions during the day, where owners will return to their vehicles and fire up those legendary Yank motors for the crowd. Expect the unmistakable burble of classic V8s, the thunder of big-block muscle and the kind of soundtrack that shakes the ground beneath your feet. It’s a sensory experience that every petrolhead needs to witness at least once.
A Must-Visit Destination at TRAX
From immaculate show cars to purpose-built drag machines and custom trucks, the American Corner celebrates every corner of US car culture. Combined with the spectacular Lay ‘n’ Play demonstrations and the all-new scheduled start-ups, it’s set to be one of the most exciting attractions at TRAX 2026.
Confirmed Cars
The American Corner display will feature an incredible mix of machinery, from iconic muscle cars to meticulously built custom trucks. Among the headline attractions is Barry Adams’ fearsome Dodge Viper ACR, a track-focused version of the legendary V10-powered supercar. Joining it is Matt Perkins’ stunning Chevrolet Corvette C5, sitting low on air suspension and a set of coveted BBS E88 wheels, with a cammed V8 under the bonnet that sounds every bit as good as it looks. Truck fans won’t want to miss Andy Cowley’s 1983 Chevrolet C10, powered by a Chevy small-block V8 and finished in a striking HKS-inspired livery. Fresh from a winter transformation, the pickup boasts a revamped engine bay and a completely redesigned truck bed, making it one of the standout custom builds of the season. Also on display is Mitchell Langridge’s beautifully restored Ford F100, which has undergone a comprehensive rebuild including fresh paint, a redesigned interior, new wheels and an upgraded suspension setup. Rounding out the display is a classic Plymouth Fury, adding another slice of authentic American motoring history to an already diverse line-up.
