Buckle up – Street Weekend is back!
Bigger, tougher and meaner than ever!
After 3 successful years organisers Santa Pod Raceway are shaking things up with a new four-day format that’ll see drivers racking up the road miles and hammering 3 different tracks across the weekend. It all starts at Santa Pod Raceway on Day 1, where each driver will lay down their first time of the event before heading out on the road for a 200-mile haul to Elvington Airfield in Yorkshire. After a run there on Day 2, they’ll be back on the road via a set of checkpoints, and on to Melbourne Raceway, setting another time here on Day 3. Just when the drivers and the cars think they’ve had enough, it’s back on the road, all the way back to Santa Pod Raceway for the final showdown on Day 4.
For 2026, we’re turning up the heat and throwing in some variety by offering a varying track condition on each day of the event.
Day 1 – Santa Pod: 1/8 mile, fully prepped — nice and grippy
Day 2 – Elvington: 1/4 mile, unprepped — unpredictable and spicy
Day 3 – Melbourne: 1/8 mile, unprepped — hang on tight
Day 4 – Santa Pod: 1/4 mile, fully prepped — go for glory
That’ll equate to around 600 miles across 4 days, mixed conditions and zero excuses.
We all know Street Eliminator cars are some of the quickest street-legal machines in the UK… but can they survive four days of punishment and still put down big numbers on totally different surfaces or is their Street Weekend crown be about to slip?
We’re about to find out, and it’s going to be absolutely wild!
