Nivala Drift 2026

Nivala Drift is a family-friendly drifting event taking place on September 26, 2026, at Nivala’s race circuit. Now in its third year, the event has grown in popularity, with last year’s event selling out completely.

Pre-registered drivers will take to the track with their own drift cars throughout the day, showcasing their skills in a safe and exciting environment. To conclude the event, a selection of selected drivers will compete in a fun exhibition competition.

Visitors will have the opportunity to meet the drivers, explore the paddock area, learn more about the sport of drifting, and admire a carefully selected vehicle exhibition. Whether you’re a dedicated motorsport enthusiast or visiting with the whole family, Nivala Drift offers an exciting day filled with action, entertainment, and unforgettable experiences.

Early bird tickets are 15€ for adults and 5€ for children aged 8–11. After the early bird sale ends, tickets purchased at webshop or the gate are 20€ for adults and 10€ for children aged 8–11. A service fee will be added to tickets purchased online.

The event is organized by Välikylän Vauhti ja Luisto (VVL) in cooperation with Black Smoke Racing and PhooliVlog Motorsport.
