The theme of this year’s edition was film – and for one weekend, Česká Lípa became a setting full of stars, iconic cars and unforgettable scenes. On the Grand Prix Česká Lípa circuit, racing this year were Ferraris from every generation, as well as single-seaters from the legendary Indy 500 series or NASCAR racing cars, whose sound shook the entire town.
The traditional races that are inseparable from the festival were also there – Regularity Rally – B. Enge Memorial, the fun Picnic Race and, for the first time this year, Offroad Expedition, which took participants out of the town and into the terrain around Bělá.
The programme also included the exceptional 130 RS Castle, showcasing iconic cars from the golden age of motorsport in the setting of Česká Lípa’s castle.
The festival brought together the worlds of film, art and motorsport – from cult cars such as the Aston Martin DB5 from the Bond films, the DeLorean from Back to the Future or Eleanor from Gone in 60 Seconds, to exhibitions, concerts and meetings with the personalities who shape automotive culture.
Special thanks also go to the exhibitors, clubs and partners, whose support made this film-themed weekend full of speed, emotion and fun possible.
Races
B. Enge Memorial
Regularity Rally
The traditional precision drive for historic and modern cars once again opened the Speed Festival programme this year. Crews drove along picturesque roads in the Česká Lípa area, completed timed sections measured to hundredths of a second and enjoyed the film-themed atmosphere of the entire edition.
Picnic race
A fun race with challenges, where it is not just about time but above all about experiences. Crews followed a film-themed route, completed challenges, stopped at picnic stations and competed for trophies and prizes from the festival’s partners. This year, they were joined for the first time by the Offroad Expedition, which took participants into the forests and terrain around Bělá.
Grand Prix for the Mayor’s Cup
A diverse mix of cars lined up at the start on the town circuit – from classic vintage cars to modern sports cars. It was about precision and the harmony between crew and car, rather than speed, with victory decided by literal hundredths of a second. The atmosphere of the race for the Cup of the Mayor of Česká Lípa once again proved that true motorsport spirit can thrive even in the town centre.
