A look back at Gum Burners 2025 with Shiftech
On Sunday 6 April, the Brûleurs de Gommes 2025 turned the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps upside down! Sold out, 20,000 visitors, perfect weather, great sound, exceptional machines and an overexcited atmosphere: this edition clearly made its mark.
You'll find us in booths 31 and 32: that's where we set up our base camp, alongside Laboiserie and Milwaukee, to welcome an ultra-motivated community of curious onlookers, fans and enthusiasts... In short, lots and lots of people.
As usual, we've included our Youtube video at the end of the article so you can relive the event from the inside.
49 baptisms at full throttle!
Thank you to the 49 participants who enjoyed a unique experience in our Porsche 992 GT3, GT3 RS and 991 GT3 RS for a first drive on this legendary circuit. It was a mixture of emotion, thrills and pure pleasure. The in-car videos are coming soon - get ready to relive the experience!
Show, sound and fun
Between 12 noon and 1pm, the Shiftech stand was transformed into an open-air dancefloor: Mili Sax on the turntables and saxophone, Adyx as MC warming up the crowd, Shiftech and Motul goodies flying in all directions and the crowd on fire. Then it was back to the drawing board with a second wave of goodies from Laboiserie and Milwaukee.
Activities, exhibitions, surprises: it's all going to be a big one!
The Panda Mascot was there to pose with you, always ready for a souvenir photo 📷. You could also discover the Ducati Panigale V4S 916 displayed like a jewel in its 1:1 box, signed MAD1/1.
While on the track, Sofiane Yazid from Brothers Custom gave a drifting treat, Médéric invited you to sign his drift car directly in our box, and Pascal Dragotto heated up the atmosphere like never before with his Twingo dragster. On the Milwaukee side, a Ford Mustang dragster caught everyone's eye. Many thanks to them for welcoming us to their stands!
It was impossible not to mention the FMX show by Sylvan FMX, with spectacular aerial tricks, height, style and an audience that was won over! He literally put on the show and added a touch of thrills to an already busy day.
We were also delighted to welcome Mathias Locatelli and Jason Banet, the current number 1 and 2 in the French Drift Championship, to our stand.
