As we prepare for the ultimate performance car event, here’s a preview of everything you can expect to see at Trax Silverstone 2024 for what promises to be the biggest event yet!
After a year’s hiatus from the show calendar, Trax Silverstone is back bigger than ever for 2024 and we can’t wait to share some of the show features confirmed for the event on Sunday, September 1st. This Trax 2024 event preview will be continuously updated as we confirm new show features, stand-out display cars, partners and perhaps the odd surprise along the way…
What’s on at Trax Silverstone 2024?
Club Displays & Awards
The car clubs are what make our shows so special, and this year we’re striving to bring the very best of the car scene to Silverstone. As always, members of car clubs can show out in style and sign up to display their vehicle at the event, with awards being given out for the very best cars and stands. This year, our club car passes are completely sold out, meaning there will be more than 3000 cars on display. Here’s a look at which awards are on offer:
- Best Club Car of the Show
- Best Large Club
- Best Small Club
- Club Spirit Award
- Best Presented Club Stand
- Most Varied Selection
- Best Regional Club Stand
- Club Hero Award
- Best Charity Support Award
- Distance Award
Drift Kings
Drifting has always been a key part of our shows, wowing spectators with ludicrous angles, hair-raising limiter bashes and balls-to-the-wall action. Well, we couldn’t have the return of Trax without the Drift Kings feature now, could we? Taking up three 20 minute track sessions throughout the day, Britain’s top drifters battle it out to find out who really is the best drifter. Drivers will begin their runs on Wellington Straight, reaching speeds of over 100mph before entering the slides through Brooklands, Luffield and Woodcote.
You can watch all of the action from the Brooklands and BRDC grandstands.

Retail Village
Fancy bagging yourself a deal? Or simply after some inspiration or advice? Thankfully, our retail village is here to help. Packed full of some of the top aftermarket specialists, no matter what you’re after, there’s a retailer that can help. From exhausts, to turbos, blow-off valves, tyres, tools to cleaning kits, you’ll find it here.
Drift Taxis
We’re excited to announce a brand new feature for 2024 in the form of Drift Taxis. Visitors will now have the opportunity to hop into the passenger seat and experience the exhilarating rush of drifting firsthand, all while being expertly guided by seasoned professionals at the helm.
There are 220 slots available throughout the day, and Advanced Passenger rides are only £35 each, saving £5 from the on-the-day price.
Trax Street Elite Sponsored by Auto Finesse
Want to take home the coveted top prize at Trax? Street Elite is a hand-picked competition where our judges choose the entrants via an online application. The chosen cars will have the opportunity to be part of ‘Street Elite’ live at the show. On the day, our judges will pick a top three with the winner taking home the trophy and bragging rights. Head over to the Street Elite page for more info.
Public Track Time
Want to scratch the itch of driving on track? There isn’t a more famous circuit in the UK than Silverstone. Not only that, but with track sessions lasting only 20 minutes, you don’t have to worry about using tanks of fuel, or getting through a set of brake pads. You can do as many or as few sessions as you like. And if you don’t fancy driving around track yourself, you can either get yourself a session as a passenger, or you can watch from the grandstands or other viewing areas around the track.
Themed Zones
At Trax, we celebrate all modified cars of all makes and marques. But we also appreciate how tribal car culture can be. Thats why, for 2024 we’re introducing themed zones, where similar groups can be positioned together to create a series of little mini shows within main event.
We are curating zones for the following categories:
- Japfest Zone
- German Car Zone
- Vauxhall Zone
- Ford Zone
There’s no need to apply. Just tell us what car you’re bringing or which club you will be displaying with when you purchase your ticket and we’ll plot you in the relevant zone for the show!
Supercar Zone
New for 2024 is the addition of a supercar zone at Trax. Believe it or not, there are more and more modified supercars on the road, some of which are pushing the limits of performance. You might remember we featured Buzz’s 2500bhp Twin Turbo Huracan recently (Europe’s Quickest Lambo), well you’ll get a chance to see the car up close and personal as part of the supercar display. Alongside him is Rocky, who also owns a Twin Turbo Huracan, only this one is a Performante model, and features 24ct gold turbos. Prefer your Lambos with another two-cylinders? How about Rocky’s other Lambo, a Murcielago SV or perhaps Jay Cannon’s Aventador? And if Lamborghinis don’t get you excited, we’ve got a widebody Mercedes AMG GTS, too. Take a look at that feature right here.
Riding the line between sports car and supercar will also be a 1000bhp Nissan GT-R. While most don’t consider the GT-R a supercar, we’ll disagree on this occasion. Anything that can make mince meat of pretty much every production car out there this side of a million quid deserves that status.
Fast Car Stand
You didn’t think we wouldn’t have our own stand now, did you? Don’t worry folks, we’re bringing together some truly special cars for the FC display at Trax 2024. You’ll not only see previous feature cars, but you’ll also see what we have lined up to feature next.
Other Trax 2024 show features
We’re working hard on bringing more features to the show, but you can expect to also see a special display area, where those who aren’t part of a car club can still sign up to display their car at the event. There are also rosettes being awarded to the top 10 cars on display at the show, judged by our very own team here at Fast Car.
