We're thrilled to welcome back Michelin and Protyre Autocare as Official Track and Motorsport Paddock Partners for Cars at CarFest 2026, and with our first ever festival at Silverstone, there's never been a better time to have them on board.
As two of the most trusted names in the automotive world, Michelin and Protyre Autocare will once again be at the heart of the action, sponsoring the iconic Michelin Protyre Track and Motorsport Paddock. And they're bringing The Tread Shed back with them, featuring a packed programme of expert sessions hosted by Petrol Ped, covering everything car owners need to know. From busting myths to sharing insider tips on safety and savings, it's practical, engaging, and genuinely useful. Whether you're a seasoned driver or just getting started, there's something here for you.
THE BIGGEST LINE UP OF CARS AT CARFEST YET
This year, Cars at CarFest is bigger, bolder and more exciting than ever. Settled into our new home at the spiritual home of British Motorsport, over 1,000 cars will come together across the weekend, on display, on track, and up for auction.
Four times every day, the Michelin Protyre Track comes alive on the iconic Silverstone International Circuit. Supercars, hypercars, open-wheel legends and closed-wheel classics, all out on one of the most famous ribbons of tarmac in the world. It's not just about speed... it's skill, theatre, and moments that'll have you asking: "How?!"
Hosting the weekend’s track activities will be Neil Cole and Torie Campbell joined by celebrity guests Mat Watson, Richard Hammond and Izzy Hammond amongst a host of others...
