Racing Journal Speed Fest: A weekend of racing and adrenaline

July 15, 2025 0 news

From July 25 to 27, 2025, the Autodrom Most in northern Bohemia will transform into the Racing Journal Speed Fest. This action-packed racing weekend will feature a diverse motorsport program that promises excitement for fans of all ages. Presented in partnership with the motorsport magazine Racing Journal, the event offers three full days of adrenaline-fueled fun and family-friendly entertainment.

A wide variety of race cars will hit the track—from the modest yet thrilling one-make cups like the Renault Twingo, Suzuki Swift, and Renault Clio, known for their evenly matched fields and intense wheel-to-wheel battles.

Touring car enthusiasts can look forward to the TCR Eastern Europe championship, where brands like Audi, Cupra, Honda, and Hyundai will go head-to-head. Several Czech drivers will take part, including Adam Kout, Jiří Zbožínek, Petr Čížek, and Martin Kadlečík, who won a silver medal at the 2024 Motorsport Games in Valencia.

Formula lovers won’t be disappointed either. The F4 Central European Zone championship will showcase young talents fighting for recognition and a chance to move up the motorsport ladder, maybe even to Formula 1 one day. Among the homegrown talents are Max Karhan, Teo Borenstein, David Gorčica and František Němec. The grid will also feature promising female drivers like Kiara Henni, Michalina Sabaj and Mathilda Paatz, who has already made her debut in the F1 Academy and is aiming for the top tiers of the sport.

One of the weekend’s highlights will be the GT specials, including iconic machines like Italian Lamborghinis, scarlet Ferraris, roaring BMWs and even a Le Mans prototype. In addition to two sprint races, these powerful cars will take part in a one-hour endurance race on Saturday—adding even more excitement to an already dynamic weekend.

Organizers have also prepared a rich off-track program. On Saturday, July 26, a demonstration run by an IndyCar will wow the crowd. At midday, fans can enjoy free access to the pitwalk, where they’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at the cars and teams up close. Throughout the weekend, visitors can also compete for prizes on the RacingFuelSimulators racing simulator.

Friday’s entry is free for all visitors. One-day tickets for Saturday or Sunday are available for 300 CZK in advance (400 CZK at the gate). A full weekend pass costs 500 CZK in advance or 600 CZK on-site. Children under 15 enter for free.

Tickets can be purchased in advance at www.autodrommost.cz.
