Gearheads, clear your schedules. The highly anticipated IMPACT Speed Fest is making a grand return this year from July 17 to 19, taking over Halls 2 and 3 of the IMPACT Challenger in Muang Thong Thani. Moving away from the formulaic structure of conventional car exhibitions, the 2026 iteration is pivoting toward a comprehensive "Lifestyle Festival" format built around the core theme, 'Moving Thai Restoration Craftsmanship Forward Together.'

This year's event is pulling out all the stops to bridge the gap between high-octane motorsport, premium lifestyle trends, and regional car culture. The biggest draw for ultimate car enthusiasts will undoubtedly be the star-studded lineup of global automotive pioneers flying in for the weekend. Attendees will get a chance to see iconic Japanese tuning masters, including Top Secret’s Smoky Nagata, rotary wizard Isami "Ama-san" Amemiya of RE Amemiya, and wide-body pioneer Kei Miura of Rocket Bunny and Pandem fame. They will be joined by Super GT veteran Max Orido, rally driver Ariza Mizuhara, HKS CEO Daisuke Mizuguchi, VeilSide’s Hironao Yokomaku, Michizo Niikura of Mine's, and GReddy President Chieko Iioka.

Local flavor will also be heavily represented by prominent Thai automotive personalities, including Beer Baiyoke, collector Oat Pramote, the restoration gurus Ko & Chet from Street Doc, and viral content creator Phor Mod TikTok.

Beyond the meet-and-greets, the venue will host a massive showcase of over 3,000 rare cars and motorcycles sourced from car clubs across Thailand. Headlining the machinery display are legendary builds brought straight from Japan, such as the HKS Toyota 86 RS-3, a Rocket Bunny Nissan GT-R (R34), the collaborative RE Amemiya Top Secret Mazda RX-7, and an authentic Formula 1 car from the Red Bull stables. True to the event's theme, a dedicated zone will also highlight the meticulous work of local Thai car restoration masters.

For those looking for live action, professional drivers from D1GP Thailand will team up with famous Japanese drifters for high-smoke showcases alongside the 4th BKCC Time Attack and extreme stunt shows presented by Red Bull.

The lifestyle aspect of the festival is rounded out by an extensive marketplace featuring over 350 aftermarket and modification brands, an automotive-inspired fashion and lifestyle zone with goods from Converse Thailand, Smith Vintage, and Element 72, plus pro-level racing simulators and an RC drift arena. A dedicated food truck zone will keep attendees fueled throughout the day.

Doors open daily from 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Standard daily passes are priced at 300 THB, while a premium VIP 3-Day Pass is available for 2,500 THB. Tickets can be purchased online or directly at the venue box office during the event days. For more information, enthusiasts can visit the official website at www.impactspeedfest.com.
