Gatebil is not just about track driving. At all Gatebil festivals we also have a car show together with Meguiars – Gatebil Showgarden.

Gatebil Showgarden takes place from Friday to Sunday, with a special parade on the track in one of the busiest days for all cars, as well as a special prize giving ceremony, that takes place on the last day of the festival – Sunday.

Do you have a show car that you would like to display at the Gatebil Festival? Then you can still be part of the exhibition and thus win great prizes!
To participate in the exhibition you need to pre-register your car and buy entrance tickets.

Remember that you need a ticket for yourself and a ticket for your car (car pass)! A special Showgarden Car Pass ticket will be available for you to purchase after your car gets approved for Showgarden,

Of course, it is also possible to buy entrance tickets at the arrival.
Upon arrival, our entrance staff will refer you to the exhibition area, where there are staff who show where you should stand, then you will receive exhibition notes where you write about your car and then place in the windshield.

We recommend that you pre-register to participate in the car show. Places are limited and we reserve the rights to decline your application, if you have not been pre-registred.
