The line-up includes new models and classic cars, top predators and sports cars, rally cars and motorcycles, as well as public service vehicles.

NIGHT DRIVE AND DRIVE SHOWS
The festival’s highlight programmes are the Night Drive and Drive Shows, featuring motorcycle jumps, drifting, stunt shows, and breathtaking tricks enhanced by spectacular light, smoke, and flame effects that captivate car enthusiasts day and night. Past years have seen performances by Kevin Piskolty, Zsolt Hetyési, Balázs Herczeg “Mókus”, Tamás Treitl, Berci Bilik, Velvart BMX Suli, Csaba Erdős, Balázs and Emese Erdei, Tamás P. Nagy, Péter Hujber with the Air Raiders, Norbi Fehér, and Attila Rövid.

PROFESSIONAL CONFERENCE
Alongside roaring engines and rumbling exhausts, a professional conference offers a forum where current automotive industry issues are examined with input from sector experts.

CELEBRITY RACE
Can you imagine Zolee Ganxsta as a pizza delivery driver? Neither could we—but it has happened in the Celebrity Race. Every race is unique, with unexpected performances and rule-bending by celebrities. Previous participants include Viki Metzker, Matyi BSW, Gaben BSW, Tomi Horváth, Laci Fekete, Miklós Fekete, Ádám Török, Milán Koósz, Becsületesnepper, and Zolee Ganxsta.

DRIFT TAXI
Drift Taxi is for those unafraid of high horsepower and sharp corners, driven by a drift champion. This special feature of the Katlan programme allows anyone to ride alongside the stars of the Drive Shows.

MINI DRIVE
Mini Drive is a unique programme of Debrecen Drive, where the youngest participants compete in a true Formula 1-style racing series. Children aged 5–12 form teams and race with their own custom-designed “cars” in skill and speed challenges. Companies, institutions, and organisations can register to decorate and “tune” the cars. Previous participants include Schaeffler, Krones, DKV Zrt., Zsuzsi Vonat, and the University of Debrecen.

CHILDREN’S DAY WEEKEND
Debrecen Drive takes place over the Children’s Day weekend, offering a variety of experiences for the little ones. Interactive and musical programmes, exciting demonstrations, competitions, creative crafts, transport-themed games, and a wide selection of children’s toys await.

ACCOMPANYING PROGRAMMES
Musical performances and panel discussions further enrich Debrecen Drive. In the mornings, favourites of younger audiences take the stage, while afternoons feature podium discussions and concerts for the wider audience.

DEVIL TUNING EXHIBITOR REGISTRATION
This year, Debrecen Drive hosts the 14th National Devil Tuning Meeting. The Devil Tuning team has been a leading and professional presence in the Hungarian tuning scene for over 24 years. The weekend-long event in May occupies a quarter of the venue and accommodates hundreds of cars. Registration is available at the top of the debrecendrive.hu website.

CÍVIS MOTORSPORT CUP
For years, Debrecen Drive has hosted the Cívis Motorsport Cup, organised by the Cívis Car and Motor Sports Association, where competitors race on a slalom track to see who can navigate the corners fastest.

Tickets are available in advance online.
