On August 9th, 2026, HondafestNW returned to Pacific Raceways in Kent, WA. NWMotiv has been putting on the event for over 10 years now, and somehow, each year, it never gets old. There’s always something memorable about the event, and it constantly reminds me just how special our automotive community is, especially the Acura and Honda community.

This year was no different.

Excitement, speed, passion, noise, tire debris, cheering, heat, sweat, muscle fatigue, nerves. But how do I capture that in an image? I think intrinsically I decided to try to find the base sense behind it all, and embody that in images. That resulted in ultra slow motion pans to showcase a feeling of speed, they aren't perfect, far from it, but they feel fast, and that was the goal.

In Round 6 of the 2024 Formula Drift Pro Championship in Seattle, the competition saw several significant developments that could influence the season's outcome.

What separates HondafestNW from all other shows is that we allow anyone with an Acura or Honda to enter. This means we see builds of all calibers, from daily drivers to complete showers. And why do we do that? Why don’t we weed out stock cars or “sub-par” cars? We get those questions all the time. The answer is simple, we all start somewhere.

It isn’t summer without chillin’ late night getting bubble tea! Bubble tea meets have become synonymous within our community and when Sunright Tea Studio in UW reached out, we had to make it happen.

There are times when throwing events, you have a vision of how you want the event to go and what type of vibe or energy you’re wanting to event to have. Partnering with Garrett Nelson and The Shop Club in Seattle, we envisioned an event where our automotive community would be able to come, hang out and discover a new space for them to call their own.

The 48th annual Long Beach Grand Prix in Long Beach, CA was one of the most exciting and anticipated events on the 2023 motorsports calendar. Having taken place on April 14th-16th, the event saw some of the world's top drivers and teams competing on the streets of Long Beach in a thrilling weekend of high-speed action and nail-biting drama.

The first ever NWMotiv x G2 Distribution Leavenworth Charity Cruise benefitting Seattle Children’s was a huge success! With the original Leavenworth Drive being cancelled, we wanted to host an occasion for the community to come out, enjoy each other’s company, and have fun with their cars all for a great cause.

Since its inception in 2010, ForumFest has always been about the gathering of various forums, car clubs, and groups coming together to share ideas, connect, and build relationships with one another despite being into different platforms.
