«Moscow Mile 2026»: Retro Legends, Prize Fund, and Free Admission for Spectators
On July 25 and 26, 2026, the long-awaited event of the year for all fans of technical sports will take place at the RDRC Racepark multifunctional complex in the Ramensky district – the speed festival “Moscow Mile 2026”.
NEW CLASS GT RETRO: The Return of Legends
For the first time in the history of the “Moscow Mile”, rare youngtimers will take to the start line. The special GT RETRO class will feature iconic cars from the 80s and 90s that have preserved their racing spirit and are ready to show their character over the 3/8 mile (603 meters) distance. The retro class races promise to be among the most spectacular and nostalgic moments of the festival.
COMPETITION FORMAT AND PRIZE FUND
The race is held in the format of paired runs over a 3/8 mile distance. During the first and second days, participants divided into classes (GT1-GT7, GT RETRO) conduct qualifying runs in free mode with the best clean time (ET) being recorded. After qualifying is completed, a TOP-8 bracket is formed in each class. The competition then moves to the playoff stage: paired runs follow the Olympic elimination system (until the first defeat), which guarantees maximum intensity of emotions and unpredictability of results right up to the finish line.
Special nominations and prize fund
The organizers have prepared a prize fund to reward participants in the nominations (GT1-GT7, GT RETRO). They have also expanded the list of special prizes to highlight the outstanding achievements of participants. Cash certificates of 100,000 rubles each will be awarded to the winners in the following categories: “Reactive Battery” – best time among electric vehicles. “Mongoose Reaction” – best reaction to the starting tree (RT). “Stakhanovite” – the participant who completed the greatest number of runs over two days. “Moscow Mile Queen” – the absolute best time among all female participants. Best speed at 1/4 mile. Best time at 3/8 mile (absolute festival record). Best time at 1/4 mile.
FESTIVAL HOSTS
The action on the track will be commented on by the true voices of Russian motorsport: Sergey Gervash – the traditional host of the project, well known to all fans of the “Moscow Mile”. Anton Shiryaev – a famous motorsport commentator whose voice is known to millions of fans.
SPECTATOR PROGRAM: FREE ADMISSION!
