Apart from watching drag races and checking out exotic and performance cars, visitors will have the chance to actively participate in several motorsport-focused activities. Entry passes for Generation Speed 2026 can be purchased through the event's official website. Ticket prices start at Rs 1,995, which is higher than last year, and go up to Rs 16,995 depending on the package. A special one-day student pass priced at Rs 995 is also available.

Those interested in competing can register separately for motorsport events such as drag racing and lap time challenges. The festival also offers experience-based activities, including off-road trail drives, drift car passenger rides, and other high-adrenaline attractions.

Vehicle displays at Generation Speed are divided into multiple themed zones. These include Speed Shikari Den, which features supercars known for rapid acceleration, Mod's Own Country, showcasing heavily modified everyday cars, and Collectors' Corner, which brings together rare and privately owned vehicles. Classic cars take centre stage in Legacy Lane, while GS Garage highlights selected cars from the premium parking area. There is also a Scale Model Display dedicated to miniature car collections.

Visitors can take part in learning programmes conducted by certified instructors. The Generation Speed School is offering a two-day drifting course, a one-day off-road driving and recovery course for 4x4 vehicles, and rally car driving sessions. In addition, guests can enjoy taxi rides in drift cars and on a rock-crawling course.

The festival also features hands-on activities such as go-karting, dirt karting, mini bikes, off-road SUVs, RC cars and driving simulators. For those looking beyond motorsport, adventure options include camping, ziplining, rock climbing, ATV trails and paintball.

Competitive events are another major highlight, with registrations open for a drift competition judged by an FIA-affiliated official, an FMSCI-approved autocross, quarter-mile time trials, and multiple drag racing categories covering both on-road and off-road vehicles, including tuned cars.
