Where there’s smoke, there’s tyre…

Summernats, an annual automotive festival held in Canberra, Australia, is often misunderstood due to its reputation as a loud and wild event. While it is true that Summernats features high-energy activities like burnout competitions and showcases of powerful cars, the event is more than just a celebration of automotive horsepower. The festival brings together car enthusiasts from diverse backgrounds who share a passion for customizing and showcasing their vehicles. Beyond the noise and smoke, Summernats fosters a sense of community, creativity, and craftsmanship among attendees. The event provides an opportunity for participants to express their individuality and automotive artistry, turning their vehicles into unique works of art. Unfortunately, the focus on the more sensational aspects of Summernats often obscures the genuine camaraderie and automotive craftsmanship that lie at the heart of the event, leading to its frequent misunderstanding by those unfamiliar with the subculture it represents.
