It’s that time of year again. On Friday, Ultrace Poland’s setup was in full swing, with this weekend’s 2026 edition shaping up to be the biggest yet.
As Europe endures one of its hottest summers on record, thousands of car enthusiasts gather once again in Poland. But this time, the event has a new home: Gdańsk, a coastal city located around 340 kilometers north of the country’s capital, Warsaw.
With the event having outgrown its previous home at the Tarczyński Arena in Wrocław – and making its first venture outside Poland with an edition in Düsseldorf back in April – it felt only natural for the Ultrace team to find a new home for the Polish event.
The choice fell on the Polsat Plus Arena in Gdańsk, and it’s easy to see why. The venue layout follows a familiar formula, but on a larger scale. The exhibition space surrounding the arena is more expansive than ever, creating room for even more cars and a larger drifting track.
While I won’t go into too much detail about the event itself this time around, one thing immediately stood out: The international presence felt stronger than ever. Cars had arrived from all over the world, including a trio from C’s Garage S13s, having made the journey all the way from New Zealand.
That’s one of the things that keeps me coming back to Ultrace. No matter how many times you attend, there’s always something unexpected waiting around the next corner.
I hope this preview has got you as excited as I am for this weekend’s event. This is just the beginning, as I’ll have plenty more coverage from Ultrace Poland 2026 coming your way over the next couple of weeks.
