Engines will roar back to life this summer as FuelFest returns to the UK for the first time since 2019, transforming Manston Airport, Kent, into the country's ultimate celebration of horsepower, speed and car culture on Saturday, 25 July 2026.
Part of FuelFest's expanding 2026 world tour, the UK event joins 11 stops across the United States alongside international dates in Tokyo and Qatar. Founded by Cody Walker in 2018, FuelFest has grown into a globally recognised automotive lifestyle festival, combining world-class cars, live motorsport, music and celebrity appearances while honouring the legacy of his brother, the late Paul Walker, and supporting charity Reach Out WorldWide (ROWW).
From the moment the gates open at 1:00pm, Manston's historic runway will come alive with tyre smoke, screaming engines and non-stop action. Fans will witness live drifting throughout the day, experience heart-pounding passenger ride-alongs with leading professional and local drivers, and watch quarter-mile drag racing thunder down the airport's iconic landing strip.
More than 700 exceptional vehicles will fill the festival grounds, from ultra-rare supercars and meticulously built performance machines to heavily modified street builds, classics and some of the most recognisable cars from the Fast & Furious franchise. Combined with live music, interactive experiences, automotive art, sponsor activations and exclusive merchandise, FuelFest delivers an immersive festival experience unlike anything else on the UK automotive calendar.
