MAPerformance x FuelFest – Our Experience at FuelFest 2025

If there’s one thing we love as much as building fast cars, it’s meeting the people who make the scene what it is — and FuelFest 2025 in the Bay Area did not disappoint. From the moment the gates opened, the vibes were immaculate: clean builds, rev battles, big-name drivers, and nonstop energy from fans who live and breathe this lifestyle.

Whether you pulled up to show off your ride or just came to take in the action, FuelFest had something for everyone. And yes — we brought the MAPerformance heat with us.

What Is FuelFest, Anyway?

FuelFest is one of the fastest-growing automotive lifestyle festivals in the world — part car show, part motorsport exhibition, part block party. Co-founded by Cody Walker (yes, Paul’s brother), FuelFest blends top-tier tuner builds with drift demos, live music, and unmistakable West Coast car culture energy.

It’s where JDM legends, widebody muscle cars, and high-horsepower monsters all pull up under one roof (or sky) to celebrate what connects us: the build.

We also love FuelFest because it partners with Reach Out World Wide, the disaster relief charity that Paul Walker founded over a decade ago with Cody. ROWW has been a longtime partner of ours, and it means the world every time we get to go hang out with the awesome men and women that keep it going. 

Why Is FuelFest So Important In The Car Industry?

Events like FuelFest are more than just a good time — they’re the heartbeat of the aftermarket. It’s one of the rare places where car enthusiasts, industry brands, pro drivers, and content creators all converge to trade ideas, get inspired, and show love to the community. Put simply, FuelFest is THE experience for hardcore automotive enthusiasts - it's not something you go to just because it's something to do on the weekend. 

For us at MAPerformance, it’s also a chance to hear directly from the people who use our parts, follow our builds, and push the limits in their own garages. We’re not just here to sell you stuff — we’re here to build with you. FuelFest gives us that connection in the most raw and authentic way possible.
