4AG Festival USA is the convergence of Japanese 4AG culture with American motorsports enthusiasts. It's not just another car meet it's a multi-day celebration centered on the legendary 4AG engine and Toyota's sports car heritage from 1960-2000, timed with the first new 16-valve 4AG revision since 1990. We're bringing the spirit of Japan's 4AG Fest stateside with an American accessible track time, drifting, dyno battles, and community cruising in the heart of the Midwest Chicago!
This is where three generations of 4AG enthusiasts from Corolla/MR2 street warriors to Formula Atlantic veterans come together to shred tires, share stories, and make memories. Every engine has a story. Every driver has a journey. 4AG Festival USA exists to celebrate that passion, build community, and prove that grassroots motorsports belongs to everyone, not just those with deep pockets.
OUR DRIVE
“4AG Festival USA is about making motorsports accessible. It’s about connecting young enthusiasts experiencing their first track day with veterans who’ve been building these engines for decades. We’re mixing Japanese tuning culture with American track day energy lapping sessions, tandem drifting, dyno shootouts, and cruise nights all at prices that won’t drain your wallet. This is grassroots motorsports at its finest real drivers, real cars, real community.”
Qualified Vehicles
While 4AG Festival USA celebrates the legendary 4AG engine, we welcome all Toyota sports cars from 1960-2000 to the track lapping and car show. From classic Sports 800 and Celicas to MR2s and Corollas, if it's a Toyota sports car from this golden era, you're part of the family. For drift sessions, all cars are welcome to apply—Toyota or otherwise. We're building a community that respects the art of tandem drifting regardless of what you're sliding. This event honors Toyota's rich motorsports heritage and the enthusiasts who keep these machines alive.
