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, where Friday afternoon is celebrated with a special parade on the track for all show cars.
Remember – Sunday 12:00 we are having prize giving ceremony at the Taxi Tent!

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 entrance tickets, these you can buy in advance here: BUY TICKETS HERE
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.
