SIXTOL as general partner of the Speed Festival

From 2026 the Speed Festival moves into a new chapter. The SIXTOL brand becomes the general partner of the festival and the entire event will now be called SIXTOL Speed Festival.

From 2026 the Speed Festival in Česká Lípa enters a new phase. The SIXTOL brand becomes the general partner of the festival and the entire event will now be called SIXTOL Speed Festival. For us this is a natural step that connects the world of high-quality car accessories, tools and car care with one of the largest auto-moto events in North Bohemia.

The partnership came after the owner of SIXTOL s.r.o. bought a 50% stake in the Speed Festival. The goal is not to change the spirit of the event, but to build on the best that the festival has created and at the same time raise it to an even higher level. We want the SIXTOL Speed Festival to become an event that car, motorcycle and motorsport fans, families and exhibitors from across the Czech Republic and abroad will look forward to.

A festival that continues the motoring history of Česká Lípa

The Speed Festival recalls the long motoring tradition of Česká Lípa and, among other things, follows up on the famous Grand Prix that last ran through the town in 1984. In recent years the festival has shown that motoring can be not only about speed, but also about design, emotions, culture, meetings and experiences for the whole family.

The festival includes races, a precision rally, the Picnic race, an evening Grand Prix in the city atmosphere, exhibitions of exceptional cars and motorcycles, club meetings, a supporting program and themed exhibitions. The 2026 edition will carry the subtitle Máchův kraj and will connect the world of motoring with one of the most beautiful regions of North Bohemia.

What the SIXTOL Speed Festival will bring from 2026

Our goal is to significantly expand the festival while preserving its atmosphere. We plan to roughly double the number of exhibited cars and bring an even more varied mix of vehicles to Česká Lípa – from classics through supercars, race specials and tuned cars to modern electric vehicles, caravans and motorhomes.

We also want to allocate significantly more space to motorcycles. At the festival we would like to welcome more than a thousand motorcycles and present a wide spectrum of categories – from road bikes through enduros to choppers and other interesting machines.

A major novelty will also be the expansion of the program to include the Sosnová circuit. There we want to prepare a two-day program starting in the morning, offering new motorsport activities including a track day program and drifting.

We will publish the complete program once it is finally confirmed. Even now, however, we can reveal that we are preparing attractive parts of the program, such as starts of sports and racing cars from the grid, special Ferrari and Lamborghini races or formula demonstrations.

New features: e-Picnic race, tuning, caravans and stronger communication

One of the new features will be the e-Picnic race aimed exclusively at electric vehicles. With this we want to open the festival to modern technologies as well and show that the world of cars is evolving, but the joy of driving, design and discovery remains the same.

The program will also newly include additional categories, such as tuning, caravans and motorhomes. The festival will thus offer an even broader scope for visitors who are interested not only in races and supercars, but also in travelling, vehicle modifications and the practical use of cars in everyday life.

An important part of the new phase will also be improving PR, communication and the presentation of the festival on social networks. We want to show more of the preparations, exhibitors, drivers, partners, behind-the-scenes and the personal stories of people and machines that make the motoring world so exceptional.

Ambition: more than 50 thousand visitors

The SIXTOL Speed Festival aims to become one of the largest and most prominent auto-moto events in the Czech Republic. Thanks to the expanded program, the involvement of Sosnová, a larger number of exhibited vehicles and stronger communication, we expect the festival's attendance to exceed 50 thousand people.

For the SIXTOL brand this connection is natural. Motorsport, cars, practical equipment, service facilities, car care and the community of motoring enthusiasts belong together. We believe that the partnership will help the festival grow while bringing visitors even more experiences, a higher-quality program and a stronger atmosphere.

We look forward to the new chapter of the festival and believe that the SIXTOL Speed Festival 2026 will show how far this exceptional event can progress.
