Auto Show Open 2026

Drive your own car on a real race track!

Got a driving licence, your own car and a desire to find out what it’s like to drive on a real racing circuit? The motorsport season at SLOVAKIA RING isn’t over yet! On Sunday, 29 November 2026, we bring you AUTO SHOW OPEN – exhibition drives in an open category for everyone.

You don’t need to be a racing driver or own a race car. Just bring your own car, put on a helmet and see what you can do on the same track used by professional racing drivers. For the whole day, the circuit belongs to you and other motorsport enthusiasts.

You can look forward to a 3.2 km track layout with 12 corners and 30 minutes of driving in a small group of no more than 15 cars. Every lap is recorded by professional timing, and you can compare your times with other participants right after your session.

All you need is a category B driving licence, your own car in good technical condition and a helmet. Helmets can also be rented on site. You’re welcome to bring a passenger along too.

You can register using the online form below.
