Japfest Silverstone 2026 tickets are now up for sale!

Japfest Silverstone 2026 is coming fast, and we want the biggest, brightest turnout the show has ever seen.

This year, we’re not rolling in alone — we’re aiming to join forces with other clubs to create one massive, united, "Rotary Commuity" stand. More rotors, more sound, more spirit. Let’s show Japfest what happens when the rotary world comes together.

Don’t forget: exclusive discount tickets are available for club members. More cars, more friends, more rotary energy for less.

So, spin up those rotors, polish the paint, and join us on the Silverstone circuit for the ultimate celebration of JDM culture.

Address:

Silverstone Circuit,
Towcester,
Northamptonshire,
NN12 8TN

Official website, with more info: https://japfest.co.uk/silverstone/

Please leave a comment under this post if you are interested in attending, or have booked your ticket.

Last year the club stand was probably in the worst possible place, no footfall at all as we were right at the back out of sight of anyone. It was like we were banished or something

Hi Mark
Silverstone is a large show and you can’t really negotiate an area with them so it’s often just luck of the draw
I’m sure Eva will do her best with this show and the numbers are looking good 👍 ( well done )
Regards
Pete

Thanks for letting me know Mark.

I am happy to get in touch with them to give the feedback and see if anything could be done. But it is likely what Pete said and it’s mostly a matter of luck at events this big.

I got in touch with the events team to leave a feedback and request better positioning for this year's stand given how we are looking at a decent turnout this year. A support ticket has been created for this and currently awaiting response from the organisers.
