Held at the Overclockers UK headquarters in Etruria, the front of the building was filled with an impressive mix of vehicles throughout the day, ranging from classic American cruisers and vintage motors to modern sports cars, supercars and heavily modified performance vehicles.

Visitors spent the day exploring rows of cars, chatting with owners and enjoying the atmosphere, with everything from Corvettes and McLarens to Japanese imports and retro classics drawing attention from crowds.

Inside the building, attendees were able to experience the latest PC and sim racing technology, with the racing simulators proving especially popular across the day. The hot laps challenge attracted a steady queue of competitive visitors all keen to put their virtual driving skills to the test.

So… did you manage to set a fast lap? And more importantly, how did you do?

Alongside the gaming experiences, guests could browse exclusive tech deals and offers on PCs, components and peripherals, while food vendors outside helped keep visitors fuelled throughout the event.

The meet once again highlighted the strong crossover between car culture and gaming communities, something Overclockers UK has built a reputation around over the years. The combination of enthusiast vehicles, technology and community atmosphere created a busy but welcoming event that drew people from across Staffordshire and beyond.

With strong attendance, packed displays and plenty of conversation around both cars and tech, the 2026 event proved once again why the Overclockers UK Car Meet has become one of the region’s most anticipated enthusiast gatherings.
