Meguiars Showgarden 2026
Gatebil is more than just track driving! Off the track, we offer a display of everything from classic racing cars to the hottest show cars. For many, there’s prestige in premiering their new car build at Meguiars Showgarden. If you have a tough car of your own, you should definitely exhibit at Gatebil! They are also awarded in a number of different classes. So if your car is extra tough, nice or well-built, there’s a good chance you’ll take home a trophy for your mantelpiece. Whether it’s a stance, styling, Euro, Japanese, muscle or raggar car. Something for everyone, in other words.
The environment at Showgarden is just as big as around the track – if not bigger. Here you chat with like-minded people. Sharing experiences and evaluating other people’s cars and different solutions. Hours of fun await you if you attend Gatebils Showgarden this year. See you there!
