On July 25 and 26, 2026, the long-awaited event of the year for all fans of technical sports – the "Moscow Mile 2026" speed festival – will take place at the RDRC Racepark multifunctional complex in the Ramensky District.
For the first time in the history of the Moscow Mile, rare youngtimers will hit the starting line. The special GT RETRO class will feature iconic cars from the 80s and 90s, which have preserved their racing spirit and are ready to show their character over a distance of 3/8 mile (603 meters). The retro class races promise to be among the most spectacular and nostalgic moments of the festival.
The race takes place in a paired run format over a distance of 3/8 mile. During the first and second days, participants divided into classes (GT1-GT7, GT RETRO) conduct qualifying runs in a free mode, recording the best clean time (ET). After the qualification is completed in each class, a TOP-8 grid is formed. The competition then moves to the playoff stage: paired runs follow an Olympic elimination system (first loss eliminates), ensuring maximum intensity and unpredictability of results right up to the finish line.
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 outstanding achievements of participants. Cash certificates of 100,000 rubles each will be awarded to winners in the following categories: "Reactive Battery" – best time among electric vehicles. "Mongoose Reaction" – best reaction to the starting light (RT). "Stakhanovite" – participant with the highest number of runs over two days. "Moscow Mile Queen" – absolute best time among all female participants. Best speed on 1/4 mile. Best time on 3/8 mile (absolute festival record). Best time on 1/4 mile.
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.
The organizers have prepared an extensive entertainment program for guests of all ages, and most importantly – entry to the festival is absolutely free for all spectators. What awaits guests: Exhibition of rare cars and supercars – a unique opportunity to see vehicles that rarely leave private collections. Bus tours of the racetrack – an exclusive chance to drive along the track and see the racing infrastructure from the inside.
