Pune: Get ready for an epic weekend as the inaugural edition of Generation Speed 2025 will take over the Aamby Valley Air Strip on the 22nd and 23rd of February 2025! If you’re a fan of speed, performance, supercars, mods, classics, motorsport, and all things motoring, there will be no better place to be all year.
Whether you’re into racing cars, classic cars, or supercars—two wheels or four—Generation Speed 2025 has it all. Racing enthusiasts, get ready to participate in autocross and drifting competitions or simply have fun in the seat of various vehicles—choose from a moving sofa to the mighty Defender, buggies, dirt karts, go-karts, ATVs, rally cars, drift cars, or remote-controlled cars. For motorcycle enthusiasts, Royal Enfield is hosting an exciting lineup of drag and drift experiences on the recently launched Guerrilla 450.
Generation Speed has been designed as the very best weekend you can take your kids and family to. There’s a dedicated family viewing gallery, a special Gen S Kids Zone, real-life JCB diggers, a model car collection building, fun talks on engineering, and racing careers in motorsports. Then there’s the Adventure Square with zip-lining, rock climbing, rappelling, and many other adventure activities. If you are planning to stay overnight, enjoy the coziness of camping under the stars with your family.
As all festivals must, there will be shopping—motoring accessories, apparel, and exclusive merchandise—and live music performances in the evenings to round up the day’s high-adrenaline action.
Generation Speed is the center of India’s motoring cultures—a celebration of everything that makes cars, bikes, and speed so exciting. It is automotive passion brought to life.
