Event
What started as 15 cars in a Polish parking lot in 2010 has become arguably Europe's most influential custom car show. Ultrace – formerly known as Raceism until the 2020 rebrand – is the annual pilgrimage for the stance, drift and modified car community, and 2026 marks a major evolution: after years at the Wrocław stadium, the event moves north to Gdańsk's Polsat Plus Arena. More space, new possibilities, and the Baltic Sea at your fingertips.
The curation is what sets Ultrace apart. Over 1,000 vehicles are hand-selected for the show floor, each representing the highest level of craftsmanship from across Europe and beyond. This isn't about budget or badge – a six-door Mercedes Pullman built as a community project can take Best of Show alongside professional shop builds. The judging panel draws from global scene-makers: creators from Rotiform and Hoonigan, the Players crew from the UK, and influential builders whose work you've admired online for years. Design work by Khyzyl Saleem (The Kyza) gives the brand its distinctive visual identity.
Beyond the static displays, Ultrace delivers drifting in its most spectacular form – up to eight cars sliding simultaneously around the stadium grounds. The Night Experience event transforms the venue after dark into something closer to a club night than a car show. Streetwear collaborations, music and photography blend with the automotive content, creating an atmosphere that feels genuinely fresh rather than borrowing from traditions that don't belong to this part of Europe.
Adrian Kapica and his crew built something that plays to the strengths of Central European car culture. The enthusiasm is infectious, the attention to detail rivals any classic concours, and the community welcomes newcomers. If you care about where automotive culture is heading, Ultrace is essential.
