What You Could See and Experience
B. Enge Memorial
Regularity Rally
In honour of the legendary racing driver Břetislav Enge, we started a regularity rally. We commemorated his memory and the indelible mark he left on Czech racing, and tested your precision to a hundredth of a second on a drive around the Česká Lípa area.
Picnic race
More than 70 crews set off on an experience-filled route with a carefully planned programme. They tested their racing skills on one timed section, but above all discovered interesting places in the Česká Lípa area and the Máchův kraj region between stages. And as the name suggests, there were blankets and great food too!
Exhibition
Road to Perfection
From old classics to the latest models. At the Cesta k dokonalosti exhibition, you could follow the evolution of individual carmakers’ vehicles over time. BMW presented the long history of its M cars, from their sporting beginnings to the latest technologies. Rolls Royce showed the development of the luxury car segment. What might await us this year?
Grand Prix Česká Lípa
After almost 40 years, we brought the legendary Grand Prix back to Česká Lípa! Under the floodlights, spectators watched the final section of the regularity rally, admired famous Czech racing drivers in their powerful cars and enjoyed a unique spectacle of exceptional classic cars, supercars and the latest carmakers’ models in motion. Just imagine seeing a Porsche GT3 CUP, a Škoda R5 rally car and, for example, the legendary Audi Quattro S1 drive past one after another!
There was also a motorcycle show and a supporting programme that got every spectator’s heart racing.
Motorsport Zone
Porsche racing avenue
This was exactly where you could see a broad selection of racing cars from the iconic German brand – from the Porsche Speedster to the 911 GT3 CUP. No, we are not at all surprised that the Porsche racing avenue attracted the most attention at Speed Festival. But it did not stop with Porsche. Other carmakers presented their racing machines, such as the Audi R8 LMS GT3 or Ferrari 488 Challenge. All those famous supercars you know from racing circuits were right there before your eyes.
Motorcycle Exhibition
and Organised Rides
We took visitors through the entire history of motorcycles. They could examine them up close and see all the technical innovations that made motorcycles what they are today. But that was far from everything! You could even ride selected models yourself! We organised several rides so that you could try out and compare what riding motorcycles was like in the past and what it is like today.
Art in Motoring
Do you enjoy culture and art? At Speed Festival, we brought them together with the motoring world and presented a unique exhibition concept. Talented artists such as Filip Houdek, Nelly Pacourková and Yuriy Shevcuk presented their unique works with a motoring theme, created especially for this occasion.
Tatra Concours d’Elegance
Tatra Concours d‘Elegance was an important part of Speed Festival, showcasing the elegance and outstanding design of Tatra cars. This part of the event featured unique and rare models that amazed visitors with their beauty, flawless execution and technical mastery. It was not only a competition for the most beautiful cars: the exhibition also provided a meeting place for collectors and enthusiasts who shared a love of automotive history and impeccable design.
Display Stands of Carmakers, Dealers and Motorcycle Manufacturers
The latest models from the world’s carmakers in the streets of Česká Lípa. Each brand had its own space to introduce innovative new additions to its range. New design, new technologies and new advances in the motoring world, presented by global brands.
Českolipská teplárenská, Emergency Services and Drift Show
The ČESKOLIPSKÁ TEPLÁRENSKÁ site brought more entertainment to Speed Festival. Here, visitors could take a close look at the equipment of the Integrated Rescue System, watch a demonstration of thrilling rescue operations and discover how a heating plant works. An adrenaline-filled drift show with fast and precise manoeuvres then awaited them on the site.
Supporting Programme
It was mainly about cars and motorcycles, but the programme was packed. We sent historic trains on nostalgic journeys around the area, while modern and historic buses transported you around the festival. For fans of digital racing, we prepared virtual eSport races, and prominent motorsport personalities also appeared to share their stories. You could ride go-karts and sports cars, and enjoy great music and dance performances. We brought the motoring world together with culture and entertainment for an entire weekend.
