ATBS 2025: Drifting, Tuning, and Innovation in a Weekend Dedicated to Car Enthusiasts

On May 17–18, Romexpo becomes the ultimate entertainment circuit: Auto Total Business Show (ATBS) promises a high-energy weekend for car enthusiasts across the country. Cutting-edge technology, spectacular competitions, sports demos, and live concerts, all in a mix of auto show, urban festival, and tech hub. Organizer: AD Auto Total.

ATBS 2025 is designed for automotive professionals, enthusiasts, and the general public alike. Over two days, visitors will experience gravity-defying drifts, live technical demos, tuned cars, product launches, and interactive activations transforming Romexpo into a full-scale show zone. Admission is free, between 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM.

Drifting, a sport combining speed, precision, and control, will be the main attraction at ATBS 2025, under RoDrift. Among the first confirmed drivers are the next generation talents: the Street Kids. At just 10, Alexis Stan is one of Romania’s youngest and most promising drift drivers. He’s joined by Albert Ciotu (13), a SemiPRO driver and former karting champion, Alexei Manea (13), and debutantes Vanessa Manea (11) and Adelina Ionescu (12), bringing fresh energy to the competition.

The juniors will perform alongside well-known names from Romanian motorsport, including Răzvan Stan, who last year delivered an emotional father-son tandem drift with Alexis. “That first tandem together was… the greatest prize I’ve ever received,” he said.

ATBS 2025 also brings tuning competitions back into focus, celebrating automotive design and customization, supported by Jurilov Cars. Eligible categories include Car Audio, Expo Car, Drag Racing, Hill Climb, Drift, Retro Mobil (30+ years), Rat Style, Pandem Car, Off-Road, Super/Hyper Car, and Moto.

Competition highlights include Limbo (lowest clearance), Loudest Pipe (strongest exhaust sound), Lowest Air Ride, Lowest Static, and Air Ride Battle: where audience votes decide the winner. Registrations open April 17 at www.atbs.ro.

The ATBS stage comes alive on Saturday, May 17, with Mihai Mărgineanu, followed by Tibi Scobiola & band. On Sunday, May 18, Fără Zahăr brings humor and energy to the lineup.

The Central Pavilion hosts over 130 exhibitors from the auto parts and accessories industry, turning the space into a hub of innovation. From OEMs to aftermarket leaders, brands will showcase new technologies, supported by demos, activities, and live contests. Visitors can explore advanced propulsion systems and smart safety solutions while interacting directly with experts.

Gabriel Zane, Marketing Director, Auto Total: „Auto Total Business Show is about the future — bringing together people, ideas, and passions that move an entire industry. It’s about learning, competing, experimenting, and having fun.”

Last year, ATBS welcomed over 40,000 visitors. This year’s event takes place May 17–18, from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Entry is free.
