The Meet & Greet event is expected and requested every year due to its popularity from previous years. It is a kind of opening event for legal gatherings in Eastern Slovakia. It gained its popularity with a combination of sports cars, influencers and good food and music.

This year, we moved to our own, new premises with an area of more than 10,000m2, which allowed us to take everything to the next level. The connection with @illegalnightofficial and @furtbokem_official means a great commitment but also a certainty of high quality and maximum experience. The larger area gave us the opportunity to place a larger number of cars not only in the parking lot but also in the interior of the exhibition hall. The total number of cars on display climbed to over 60, and together with drifters and influencers, we hosted an event for more than 76 vehicles, many stands with one, coffee or drinks.
The hall was filled with the most luxurious and expensive things we could offer you. It included, among others, a Porsche GT3 RS, a Ferrari Purosangue, a Nissan Skyline R34 GTR, a Mercedes 190E Cosworth and an amazing Ferrari SF90XX Stradale worth more than €1.4 million. The cars were circled by adventure rides on a professional simulator, an Illegal Night merch stand, KOCH CHEMIE or the opportunity to get a haircut by a professional barber on a golden chair. There is perhaps no better view when getting a haircut than the view of supercars and drifting right outside the hall window. A Monster Energy Chevrolet Silverado with a music superstructure and DJ desk extended from the hall into the area and entertained people with good music from DJ Marko Mazag.
The influencer zone was conquered by DJ Lucky Boy with the guys from Furt Bokem where you could buy stickers, merch or even a drift taxi, which was a novelty at this year's Meet and Greet. Lady Hoonigan, also participated in the drift and influencer zone, who, in addition to her famous Supra MK5, also brought her drift special Nissan S13, which she could also give you a ride. Unfortunately, after a few rides on the Nissan, the gearbox gave out, and so it was finished. Fortunately, Nina revealed her new drifting equipment in cooperation with Toyota at the event. Next year, we will be able to see the Toyota Supra A90 MK5 in the skilful hands of Lady Hoonigan, which will definitely work without problems. We will definitely be part of this unique construction, which we will talk more about on our social networks. Thirdly, Smusiata also visited us with her beautiful Mazda MX5 NA. Sára also has many fans here, and just like Lukáš or Nina, it was also possible to purchase merch or grab an autograph card and photo.
Our new attraction, which was drifting, was taken over by more than 10 drivers from 3 different countries. During the entire event, it was possible to purchase a drift taxi and take a ride with your favourite driver. The created track provided enough space for solo or battle driving. The adrenaline was also added by the safety concrete, which each of the drifters very closely bypassed. Over time, the guys became braver and even performed trains with 3 or more drivers in a row. Among the highlights of the evening was Lukáš and his BMW E92 2JZ called "Kurama". The car, built exclusively from our parts with an output of over 900 horsepower, put on an amazing show, after which we were left blinded for a few minutes due to the accumulation of thick smoke. In a few seconds, this BMW can turn brand new semi-slick tires with a width of 285 into a bare tread without a tread suitable for throwing away.
The Lamborghini Huracan Tecnica also showed graceful movements with a beautiful 10-cylinder sound, drifting closely between the barrels placed on the track. The experienced driver was able to tame his 640 horsepower and show that this supercar is not just for fast driving on a straight road. Equally experienced Gabi Imre Jr. from Romania, performing breathtaking drives full of smoke and flames from the exhaust on his BMW E30 turbo. It was at his tent in the depot that most people who wanted to experience a drift drive with this driver for themselves. It is no coincidence that this driver is last year's Romanian drift champion.
After the event, we moved to the Yama club, where the party continued until the early hours of the morning. With an attendance of over 5,000 people, it is clear that there is a strong automotive community in Eastern Slovakia. Meet & Greet will definitely be part of the calendar for 2026! We will try to surpass this year's activities and attractions that were part of the event and bring something new. I believe that you had as much fun as we did, and we will see you next time.
