About 130,000 people are expected to attend the country's largest car festival, Summernats, in Canberra over four days.

Police have warned punters against hoon driving and antisocial behaviour, after seizing four vehicles before the festival began.

High-visibility police patrols will roam Exhibition Park and Braddon throughout the event.
