Time To Drive Fest opens its doors at 10:00 AM and closes at 7:30 PM on Saturday 7 November and Sunday 8 November 2026. The venue is Mana Wynwood Convention Center, 318 NW 23rd Street, Miami, FL 33127. A group walks in once and stays in.
Claim the Pass Before the Queue
The ticket lives in the 0260 app. The FAQ answer reads: "Claim your ticket in the 0260 app before you arrive." Do that the night before, on the phone that goes through the gate.
Redemption takes a code. Sign in with the email used at checkout, open My Tickets, tap "+ Redeem a Ticket" and paste the code. The QR ticket appears, and that code is what security scans. The app is on the App Store and Google Play, and 0260brand.com/account/tickets serves the same QR.
A code is not tied to a name until someone redeems it. Send a spare pass to the person who will use it, and send it early. Once redeemed, it cannot move again. Ticket problems route to admin@0260brand.com.
One Clear Bag, One Inspection
The bag rule is a clear plastic, vinyl or PVC bag no larger than 12 by 6 by 12 inches, plus one clutch or wallet no larger than 4.5 by 6.5 inches. Medically necessary bags pass, subject to inspection. Backpacks, purses, luggage, camera bags and oversized bags do not enter.
The same policy bars outside alcohol, glass bottles, coolers and large hard-sided containers. Food sits inside. The Culinary Circuit restaurants run 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM on both days, and the festival runs a food court and bars through the venue.
Two more published lines matter at the door. Shirts and shoes are required at all times, and comfortable footwear covers the walk between indoor and outdoor space. Guests may not touch, enter or lean on a displayed car.
No Re-Entry, So One Continuous Day
The FAQ answers the leaving question in four words: "Re-entry is not allowed." Lunch, the panel block and the afternoon all sit inside one entry. A group that steps out does not come back in.
Saturday carries the later finish. The festival ends at 7:30 PM, the after-hours session starts at 9:00 PM and DJ Walshy Fire plays the Collectors Club Stage from 11:00 PM to 1:00 AM. Sunday closes at 7:30 PM with no after-hours listing. A guest who wants the afterparty books the Saturday pass.
Sunday also starts earlier for two groups. Cars and Coffee runs 7:00 to 10:00 AM for car clubs and VVIP guests, three hours before the general 10:00 AM doors.
Five Sessions Carry a Price
Most panels and podcast recordings come with admission. Five sessions do not, and each one needs a seat bought in advance.
Saturday, 4:00 to 4:45 PM, The Mind of a Race Car Driver, with Patrick Long and Matt Farah, $75. Saturday, 5:00 to 6:00 PM, The Smoking Tire live podcast taping, $75. Sunday, Capturing Speed: Time Critical, a photography masterclass with Larry Chen, $50. Sunday, 1:00 to 1:45 PM, Winning By All Means, with Felipe Nasr and Spike Feresten, $75. Sunday, 5:00 to 5:45 PM, Spike's Car Radio live podcast taping, $75.
The masterclass carries two published times. The ticket catalogue timestamps it at 10:00 to 10:45 AM on Sunday. The programme grid places Capturing Speed in Panel Hall at 11:00 AM. Read the 0260 app on the morning for the live slot.
Each add-on carries a $1.99 fee. An add-on attaches to an existing ticket and is not sold on its own. The organiser asks guests to reserve in advance and states that seating is limited. The ticket catalogue on 20 October read 165 seats left for the Patrick Long panel, 158 for The Smoking Tire, 142 for the masterclass, 164 for the Felipe Nasr panel and 158 for Spike's Car Radio.
The Grail VVIP pass includes every panel and podcast recording, including all five paid sessions. A guest booking three or more add-ons can price the upgrade against that total.
Two Rooms at the Same Hour
The talks run in Panel Hall and on the Collectors Club Stage, and the two grids overlap through both days. Saturday puts Dual Time in Panel Hall at 11:00 AM. At 12:00 PM Open Access runs on the Collectors Club Stage against Drive Anything, Win Anywhere in Panel Hall. The Front Row follows at 2:00 PM, then Cultural Capital at 3:00 PM against From the Block to the Boutique, then the two paid sessions from 4:00 PM.
Sunday runs On Time: Live at TTD at 11:00 AM, Content Collectors against When the Hammer Hits at 12:00 PM, Rare, Original, In Demand against Winning By All Means at 1:00 PM, Cross Market against From Supercars to Skylines at 2:00 PM, From the Hunt to the Sale against Beyond the Spotlight at 4:00 PM, and Spike's Car Radio at 5:00 PM.
A party can split across the two rooms and meet at the parade. The Nurburgring parade runs 7:00 to 7:30 PM on both days. Sunday adds the Best of Show award at 11:00 AM.
Getting In and Out
Prepaid festival parking runs $100 a day. The ticket catalogue on 20 October read 67 passes left for 7 November and 13 for 8 November. The venue's own lot takes 240 vehicles beside the convention center, publishes 400 or more spaces including ADA stalls, and charges $10 to $50 by day of week. Payment falls due on entry.
The venue sits 7.1 miles from Miami International Airport and 6.9 miles from the Amtrak station. Culmer station on the Metrorail Orange Line is a short ride from Wynwood. The organiser asks guests to use rideshare, and states that specific parking instructions and designated rideshare zones will go out before the festival.
The festival runs rain or shine, and tickets stay non-refundable for ordinary weather. Choose between the prepaid pass and rideshare before the day.
