Gatebil are of course primarily about track-driving. For all types of cars. That’s how it’s always been! Gatebil is made so that EVERYONE can find their place adapted to the type of car, level of ambition and driving style. Here is an overview of the driving that will take place at this festival:

Track driving

• Straight line
• Open line
• Drift line
• Drift Show

Competitions:

• Breisladd / Powerslide
• Super 3

Competition-series:

• Extreme Time Attack
• Extreme Race

There will of course be a Super 3 competition at Gatebil also in 2024. Super 3 will be run only at Gatebil’s big summer festival at Rudskogen Motorsenter on 4-7 July.

THIS IS SUPER 3
Super 3 is a team drifting competition where 3 cars drive in teams and work together to stay as close and wide as possible. Super 3 is crazy fun for participants and a nerve-wracking smoke show for the audience!

The competition is always happening at Gatebil Rudskogen in July, and has been organised 6 times – from 2016 to 2019, 2021 and 2022.

Gatebil is not just about what happens on the track. And that is why also in 2024 there will of course be Meguiar’s Showgarden at all Gatebil festivals.
The Showgarden is a large exhibition area where anyone who has a special and nice car that stands out from the crowd can participate. Both new and old – original and rebuilt.

DO YOU WANT TO JOIN?

Anyone who wishes can try to participate in the exhibition and get some recognition for their car. Read more: here.

PRIZES

There will of course be prizes for the cars the judges like best. New in 2023 is that the public can also vote in category “people choice”. Which exhibition classes and how many are awarded will differ from festival to festival.

DANGER OF FIRE, GLASS BOTTLES, DRIVING A MOPED – The risk of fire is something everyone must take seriously, and common sense is what counts. Disposable grills are prohibited, but regular grills on legs are permitted, unless otherwise announced before or at the festival. Glass bottles are also not allowed, as broken glass is unpleasant for both people and cars. It is also not permitted to drive mopeds, scooters and the like around the camp or depot areas.

they take place in the second floor of the main building of Rudskogen.
You have to take the smaller stairs that are outside the building right next to the bridge that takes you over the track.

STRAIGHT LINE
This heat is for you who want to drive on the track with your car, but not slide or drift. In the straight line group, you can test your sports car, rebuilt car or just see what your old GTI can do on the track. Maybe to try to improve your lap times or just feel like driving over the speed limit legally. In this group, therefore, drifting is not allowed. If you want to skid or drift, do not drive the Straight Line!

OPEN LINE
When you would like to try out sliding through the corners or you are just in the beginning of your drifting carrier, this is the heat for you. Drive fast and drift in the corners. In Open Line, you keep a little more distance between the cars so that everyone has the opportunity to test drifting in a slightly “calmer” way. You are not allowed to drift on the straights or use the hand brake to set up the car into the corners. If you are a racing driver in drifting, you should not drive in this group, then it is Drift Line that suits you better!

DRIFT LINE ROOKIE
Drift Line ROOKIE fits for you who just want to drift – preferably all over the course at all times! You can practice your skills and drift all the way around the track. If you dont have 1000 horsepowers and are not a trained drifter – this is the pass for you!

DRIFT LINE PRO
Here we find the fastest drifting PRO drivers. If you are a racing driver in drifting, this is where you should drive. Here you drive faster and with less distance to each other with 100% operation all the time. If you have drift licence and a car with plenty of horsepowers this might be the heat for you!

Anyone who wants to drive and wants to have fun on the track has the opportunity to do so at Gatebil!
