MotoFest Coventry launches new Drift Arena
The popular event is coming back to the city after 3 years.
MotoFest Coventry, in partnership with E.ON Drive, is hosting a new dedicated Drift Arena with The Crewsade team during the festival weekend in June.
The Crewsade Team, supported by Monster Energy, will provide dynamic displays of the skill and precision driving involved in competitive drifting at the Coach Park in Coventry City Centre, on both Saturday 3 June and Sunday 4 June.
Alongside the Crewsade Team, performing in the new Drift Arena will be One Wheel Wavey, described as a 'Raise-it-up Urban Motorbike Ninja'.
Darren Langeveld, MotoFest Coventry Race Director, said: "We are excited to announce our new live-action Drift Arena - which with its city centre location, high-octane atmosphere and thrill-a-minute programme is set to be one of the highlights of the festival weekend.
"The Crewsade Team, supported by Monster Energy, features a roster of well-known drivers, who are set to provide an awesome showcase of drifting and precision driving. They will be supported by One Wheel Wavey, an incredible stunt bike performer who will wow the crowds with his daring one and two-wheeled exploits.
"MotoFest Coventry just keeps getting bigger, better and more varied each year and our new Drift Arena is another exciting addition to the festival programme."
The annual, free event in the city will also showcase the latest alternatively fueled vehicles, electric cars and advanced automotive technology.
There will also be demonstrations of autonomous vehicle technology and future transport solutions on Friday 2 June – a new additional day to the MotoFest Coventry weekend, with more announcements to follow soon regarding the full programme of events.
The two-day festival, dedicated to the city of Coventry’s motoring heritage, is back after three years, following Covid-19 lockdowns and the passing of the Queen last year.
