For the first time in Vietnam, the Motorsport zone offers large-scale displays and performances of sports and customised vehicles, featuring over 200 models from individuals, garages, and car communities, alongside Drift Shows, Time Attack contests, and Best of Show selections.
Other highlights include the Car Care zone introducing automotive accessories and maintenance solutions, the Car Play zone providing family-friendly experiences, and the free community-run Carlympic promoting healthy lifestyles.
