Renowned for attracting the most legendary figures from the sport as well as international celebrities, regular guests include David Gandy, Rowan Atkinson and Sir Stirling Moss, who's historical 1955 Mille Miglia victory expects to be commemorated with seven 300 SLR sports racers as the 60th anniversary approaches.

The Festival of Speed has been host to virtually every motorsport platform, however, this will be the first time in its history a collection of drift cars will be let loose up the hill.

Alistair Gosling, Chairman and CEO of EXTREME and Drift Allstars said, "With the sport of Drifting’s popularity exploding, now is the perfect time to unleash EXTREME Drift Allstars at the Festival of Speed."
