![]() The FuelFest world tour kicked-off in West Palm Beach on February 25th with 15,000 auto fans who participated in an incredible event experience including 750 cars on display, drift racing, live music, appearances by Fast and Furious franchise stars Cody Walker and Tyrese Gibson and many other special guests at the South Florida Fairgrounds. After 2022 was hugely successful with events in the US, Tokyo, Japan, and Abu Dhabi, UAE, FuelFest returned to West Palm Beach for its second year. Fans were overwhelmed with a variety of things see and do. Throughout the day, The Yokohama Tire Festival Stage was packed with live musical performances and guests and a live-action drift course that ran the entire length of the venue. The drift course featured professional Formula Drift driver Chelsea Denofa, multiple Formula Drift ProSpec drivers, and locally hand-picked drivers from the region. Fans got the thrill of a lifetime w/ competition-style drift ride alongs. In addition, there was a Top 16 drift competition judged by both the fans and other drivers. FuelFest is hosted by popular personality John Naderi best known for his work with Hoonigan. Guests walked the sprawling event space with over 3 dozen booths hosted by world known premium and regional brands displaying interactive exhibits with products, demos, free giveaways, contests, special guest appearances and autograph sessions and more. A portion of the proceeds of FuelFest benefits Reach Out WorldWide (ROWW), the non-profit founded by Paul Walker. The organization was founded in 2010 by the late actor/producer after a massive earthquake devastated Haiti and Walker was inspired to organize a relief team that responded to the disaster. ROWW’s mission is to fill the gap between the availability of skilled resources in post-disaster situations. The FuelFest world tour continues with the next event taking place at the Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, TX on April 15, for the 2nd year. Year one saw 600 cars and 10,000 fans!
