Tickets for the 2026 American SpeedFest are now available to be purchased, with Early Bird promotion for the cheapest prices being offered until 31 January.
American SpeedFest has opened ticket sales for its 2026 event, becoming the first NASCAR Euro Series hosting circuit to do so.
NASCAR Euro Series’ crown jewel round at Brands Hatch is scheduled to make its return on 8-9 June 2026. It is set to be the third round of the 2026 season, thereby maintaining the same round slot that it had in 2025.
“American SpeedFest returns for a flat-out weekend of family fun next June,” announced Brands Hatch on 7 November 2025. “Action on the track is headlined by the NASCAR Euro Series, the only officially sanctioned stock car series of its kind in Europe.”
“Other on-track action will include themed support races, displays and demonstrations. The wider show will include a dedicated music festival, with access included with all ticket purchases, plus car displays, stunt shows and themed food. The full line-up will be confirmed in the coming weeks and months.”
As is tradition, American SpeedFest offers an Early Bird promotion to those that purchased their tickets before 31 January.
The 2026 Early Bird promotion maintains the same perks that it offered in past few years, namely:
- Cheapest ticket fees for the SpeedFest.
- Free grandstand seat upgrade for each admission ticket purchased.
- Free admission to NASCAR grid walks on your relevant admission days.
New to 2026 is a detailed restriction for who gets access to grid walks. Brands Hatch clarified that grid walk access is only available to the first 1,500 Early Bird ticket buyers for each day, plus anyone who owned a valid season and resident pass holder.
Here’s the specified detail for the tickets that Brands Hatch offered:
- Weekend Admission + Camping Zone tickets, available for £80 for adults [ages 16 and above] and £48 for teenagers [ages 13-15].
- Weekend Admission tickets, available for £47 for adults and £27 for teenagers.
- Sunday Admission tickets, available for £30 for adults and £19 for teenagers.
- Saturday Admission tickets, available for £25 for adults and £16 for teenagers.
- Anyone under 13 years old can attend for free.
Do note that the prices listed above are only available for online buyers. If you purchased your tickets at the gate, then expect to see a price hike as specified below:
- Weekend Admission + Camping Zone tickets goes up to £100 for adults and £60 for teenagers.
- Weekend Admission tickets go up to £60 for adults and £36 for teenagers. Senior citizens [ages 65 and above] have their own pricing here, with tickets being set at £50.

Nearly 50,000 people attended the 2025 American SpeedFest 12, which saw Gianmarco Ercoli and Alumitec Racing’s domination in EuroNASCAR PRO.
Melvin de Groot and Martin Doubek shared the spoils in EuroNASCAR OPEN, the former securing his first career victory with this result.
Home crowd favorites enjoyed a great performance in American SpeedFest 12. Jack Davidson scored his maiden EuroNASCAR PRO podium finish, while Matthew Ellis – who joined Davidson to create an all-British line-up at Lux Motorsport – narrowly missed out on an EuroNASCAR OPEN victory on Saturday.
