One of Britain’s biggest celebrations of performance and modified cars is set to return to Silverstone next month, with thousands of vehicles, live demonstrations and family entertainment planned throughout the day.
TRAX will take over the home of the British Grand Prix on Sunday 16 August 2026, transforming the famous circuit into a showcase of automotive culture featuring everything from supercars and modified performance vehicles to classic hot hatches, American muscle cars and custom builds.
Organisers expect more than 20,000 visitors to attend the annual event, which will feature around 4,000 display vehicles from clubs and private owners across the UK.
Away from the static displays, visitors will be able to watch a programme of live action on track, including drift demonstrations from professional drivers. Among those appearing are YouTube creator Mark McCann, off-road driver Luke Woodham and drift specialist Steve ‘Baggsy’ Biagioni, who will demonstrate his latest high-performance supercar.
The event will also feature the return of the popular Great Unveilings, where newly completed project cars are revealed publicly for the first time, alongside a Women in the Scene showcase highlighting female builders, creators and enthusiasts within the performance car community.
Alongside the motorsport attractions, visitors can explore a large retail village, food and drink vendors, automotive exhibitors and hundreds of owners’ clubs throughout the Silverstone venue.
Phil Weeden, organiser of TRAX, said the festival continues to appeal to both dedicated enthusiasts and families looking for an unusual summer day out.
“TRAX is so much more than a car show: it’s a fantastic day out packed with live entertainment, unique thrills, hands-on experiences and an incredible atmosphere. From thrilling live action to meeting like-minded enthusiasts at one of the most famous motorsport venues in the world, there really is something here for everyone.”
Located just beyond Oxfordshire and easily reached via the M40 and A43, Silverstone has long attracted visitors from across the county for major motoring events, making TRAX a popular fixture in the regional events calendar.
The festival runs from 10.00am until 5.00pm on Sunday 16 August. Advance tickets are available online, with discounted prices compared with on-the-day admission. Organisers have also confirmed that visitors may bring their own food and drink, although glass bottles are not permitted.
For motorists and automotive enthusiasts across Oxfordshire, the event offers the chance to see thousands of performance, classic and modified vehicles together at one of the world’s most famous racing circuits.
