Speed Festival 2027 presents a new, simpler concept
Less searching, more to experience. For 2027, Speed Festival is preparing a clearer city festival format, bringing together exceptional vehicles, precision driving events and the people around them. Admission will be free for all visitors.
Česká Lípa should be a place to experience automotive culture up close: on a walk through the centre, beside an exhibited car or during the evening programme on the city circuit. We want to preserve what gives the festival its atmosphere: encounters between owners, drivers, families and people who simply enjoy cars and motorcycles.
The planned concept centres on five main experiences: Setinová rallye, Picnic Race, Grand Prix CL, the vehicle exhibition and the city demonstration. Precision events will sit alongside a relaxed countryside drive, a living exhibition in the streets and a shared evening programme. Each part has its role, letting visitors find their own festival pace.
Those wishing to take part have four clear options: enter a crew in Setinová rallye, Picnic Race or Grand Prix CL, or submit a vehicle for exhibition. Each activity brings together its description, conditions and registration. Exhibiting a vehicle is free; driving entry fees and paid VIP services are separate from free visitor admission. The organiser confirms acceptance of applications.
The new website follows the same logic. The original pages presented the festival's breadth through individual experiences and separate applications. The new version puts visitors' questions first: what will I see, where can I find it and how can I take part? The overview provides a shorter route to activity details and the relevant form.
The programme and map, practical information, gallery and press releases each have a clearly organised section. A separate archive preserves the stories of previous editions, their photographs and results. New visitors can plan their trip while returning fans can revisit their memories. The same content is also available in other languages.
The aim is not to add more names and more complicated rules. We want an accessible festival that is easy to navigate and gives everyone their own reason to come. Details of individual programme blocks will be presented once participants and organisational arrangements are confirmed.
