Join us for German Saturday Social featuring Darkside Developments, as they take over The Motorist with an incredible display of race cars, project builds, customer cars and some of the most exciting German performance machinery in the country.
From championship-winning race cars and outrageous engine swaps to meticulously built road cars and overland adventures, Darkside Developments will be showcasing the breadth of what they do. Whether you’ve followed Darkside Developments for years or you’re discovering them for the first time, this is a rare opportunity to meet the team, see the cars up close and chat with the people behind some of the UK’s most recognisable builds. Whether your passion is diesel performance, German engineering, overland builds, track cars or simply spending a Saturday surrounded by like-minded enthusiasts, there’s something here for everyone. If you’re bringing your own German vehicle, we’d love to see it. If you’re simply coming to admire the machinery, you’re just as welcome.
RACE CARS, PROJECT BUILDS AND MUCH MORE Expect a dedicated Darkside Developments display featuring everything from their famous TT Race Car and 435d Drag Car to the incredible V12 Amarok, alongside a huge collection of customer cars and staff builds from across the business. Their Overland and DRVN divisions will also be represented, creating a diverse display that celebrates every corner of modern German automotive culture. MILLERS FISH AND CHIPS The Drivers Lounge will be serving food inside, and Millers Fish & Chips will be joining us outside the shop doors with lovely fish and chips to enjoy during the day! A FULL SITE OF GERMAN MACHINERY Away from the feature display, the rest of the site will be packed with everything that makes our German Saturday Social one of the highlights of the calendar.
