On June 6 and 7, the Igora Drive circuit became the epicenter of power, speed and emotion for the third time. It was a weekend where everyone – from the youngest fan to the most experienced motorcycle racer – found entertainment to their liking: uncompromising sport, powerful music and exciting shows.
On Saturday, June 6, dynamic sprint races took place on the highway-ring track as part of the championship and Championship of St. Petersburg in road-ring motorcycle racing. Spectators saw two races, each of which involved representatives of several classes of motorcycles.
On Sunday, June 7, spectators watched an exciting two-hour team endurance race. The first stage of the Russian Championship and the fourth stage of the national motocross championship took place on the Rally Moto Center track – this is the most popular and democratic discipline that united athletes of all ages.
The site of the Counter-Emergency Training Center became the arena for Interregional competitions and the Russian Cup in figure motorcycle control – motogymkhana. On the difficult and twisting track, the riders demonstrated a phenomenal sense of size and balance.
For the first time, competitions on unicycles became part of the Moto Drive festival program. On Saturday, the Igora Drive Karting track hosted time trials in the time attack format, as well as monogymkhana – slalom on a track marked with cones. On Sunday there was a unicycle race and a parallel slalom.

For two days, guests of the festival were treated to an adrenaline rush: a performance by stunt riders, an extreme Freeride Engine show with synchronized jumps on ATVs and stunts through rings of fire, as well as stunts from the legendary FMX13 team led by Alexey Kolesnikov, including a unique backflip on a buggy.
At the exhibition from the Autoculture project, guests saw rare equipment from different eras and countries, which clearly demonstrated the development of engineering and design ideas.
For the first time, spectators could become participants in the events – in “Motoquest”, traveling from the center of St. Petersburg to “Moto Drive”, and in races for regularity of movement along the highway-ring circuit of the autodrome, where the task of maintaining a given speed became a real test.
The festive atmosphere was supported by performances by cover bands, a live orchestra and powerful DJ sets. Saturday evening ended with a soulful concert by the indie rock band Sirotkin, whose sincere lyrics created a cozy atmosphere, and the festival’s headliner, rapper Icegergert (Georgy Gergert), provided a bright fiery point in the busy Sunday program, charging each viewer with his incredible energy.
A rich program awaited the youngest visitors of the Moto Drive festival – races on balance bikes, games with a team of animators and various master classes did not let them get bored. Thanks to motormail, supported by Russian Post, it was possible to send a postcard with a unique design to any corner of the country.
Festival life does not end at Igora Drive. To be continued on July 18 and 19, when the autodrome will host “GARAGE FEST Igora Drive 2026” – a grand festival of speed, music and drive.
