This past Saturday, I had the chance to visit RADICAL 2025, held at the freshly built Raassilla RX racing complex in Estonia — and it did not disappoint. Even with the roar of engines and clouds of tire smoke, it felt like one of the most welcoming and tightly-knit events I’ve been to in the car scene.
RADICAL is all about the Baltic tuning culture, and you could feel that from the moment you stepped in. The lineup was seriously impressive — slammed builds, aggressive camber setups, wild liveries, and a few surprises in between. Although the event is centered around the Stance scene, there was a healthy mix of various interesting builds and cars showing how diverse and inclusive this community is.
One of the biggest highlights of the day was definitely the Show-Drift. Picture this: a crowd of passionate enthusiasts lined along the fence, watching stripped-out monsters throw massive angles through tight corners — some pro-level, some still learning — but all putting on a great show. It added so much energy to the event and made it more than just a static meet.
I was there exhibiting my car drawings live, showcasing my custom artwork and meeting fellow enthusiasts face-to-face. It was amazing to see how many people stopped by to chat, share stories about their builds, and even ask about turning their own cars into custom art. Events like this are the perfect place to connect — everyone’s there for the same reason: we just love cars! The energy, the conversations, and the shared passion made it an unforgettable experience.
The new Raassilla venue was a great fit. There’s space to walk around, sit and watch the action, and chat without feeling overwhelmed. And the organizers did a solid job with how everything was set up — including some fun little competitions and public votes for the best cars in different categories.
RADICAL 2025 was raw, real, and 100% car culture. I’m already thinking about coming back next year!
