Islamabad has come alive this weekend with the roar of engines and the thrill of high-speed competition as it hosts Race Wars Pakistan 2025, a three-day motorsports festival running from October 17 to 19, 2025, at the Shakarparian Parade Ground.
Organized for automotive enthusiasts across the country, the event promises an action-packed lineup of head-to-head races, drifting showcases, and drag battles — all under professional supervision and enhanced safety measures.
The festival kicked off on Friday, October 17, with Head-to-Head (H2H) racing, where two cars competed side by side in precision speed runs.
On Saturday, October 18, the spotlight turns to drifting, featuring skilled drivers performing controlled slides, dynamic maneuvers, and high-style runs.
The grand finale on Sunday, October 19, will feature drag racing, where competitors will battle it out in straight-line speed duels to determine the fastest cars of the event.
Besides racing, visitors can explore car exhibitions, vendor booths, meet-and-greets with drivers, and behind-the-scenes car builds, making the festival a complete automotive experience for families and fans alike.
The return of large-scale motorsports to Islamabad comes after years of restrictions. A tragic drag racing accident in December 2010 in Bahria Town claimed five lives and led to the suspension of public racing events across Pakistan. The incident, involving a high-powered Toyota Supra, raised concerns over safety protocols, prompting Supreme Court intervention and stricter event regulations.
Since then, any motorsport revival — including Drift Fest and now Race Wars Pakistan 2025 — must comply with comprehensive safety standards, including crowd control, barrier placement, and emergency preparedness.
Authorities have ensured that the current event meets all safety requirements. Organizers emphasize that Race Wars Pakistan 2025 is not only a celebration of speed and skill but also a demonstration of responsible motorsport culture in Pakistan.
As engines roar and tires smoke across Shakarparian, the event represents a new chapter for Pakistan’s motorsport enthusiasts — one where passion meets professionalism, and safety stands at the forefront.
Event details and schedules are based on official announcements and may be subject to change. Spectators are advised to follow safety guidelines and instructions from organizers.
