Japfest Silverstone 2026 is set to raise the bar once again, with professional drift driver Steve “Baggsy” Biagioni officially confirmed for this year’s event. As one of the UK’s most recognisable figures in drifting, Baggsy’s addition strengthens an already stacked Drift Kings line-up and promises even more on-track intensity at Silverstone.
Baggsy Joins the Japfest Drift Kings Line-up
Known for his aggressive driving style, high-angle entries and championship pedigree, Baggsy is expected to be a major highlight of the Drift Kings competition. Fans attending Japfest can look forward to high-speed battles, precision driving and the kind of tyre-shredding action that has made drifting one of the event’s biggest attractions. Drift Kings has become a central feature of Japfest Silverstone, bringing together top-level drivers from across the UK and Europe. With Baggsy now confirmed, anticipation for the 2026 competition continues to build.
More Than Just Track Action
Beyond the circuit, visitors will also have the opportunity to meet Baggsy in person. Scheduled appearances include live stage interviews, dedicated meet-and-greet sessions, and access to official merchandise through his on-site pop-up shop. These fan-focused experiences are a key part of what makes Japfest more than just a motorsport event, offering direct access to some of the biggest names in the scene.
