Following a highly successful 2020 competition series, and despite many challenges caused by the COVID-19 global pandemic, Formula DRIFT is pleased to return to a full schedule for 2021. By releasing the schedule now, the organizers are enabling teams and fans to make plans for the new season, which kicks off in May at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta – the venue for the very first Formula DRIFT round in May 2004.
Given the unpredictable nature of the pandemic, the dates for both the Formula DRIFT PRO and Link ECU PROSPEC Championships may be subject to change but the series organizers are proceeding with confidence and optimism. As recently announced, PROSPEC replaces the PRO2 series, allowing a number of phased updates to the Technical and Sporting regulations over the next few seasons as part of the series’ evolution. For 2021, PROSPEC qualifying and competition will take place on the same days as the senior FD PRO category.

As is traditional at the end of a competitive Formula DRIFT season, everybody involved in the sport gets together to celebrate the winners and recognize the contributions made by people at every level. However, 2020 hasn’t been a traditional year. And so, for the very first time, Formula DRIFT will be holding a Virtual Awards Banquet and everybody is invited!
Beginning at 4PM (Pacific Time) on Friday December 4, 2020, fans can log into the livestream via formulad.com/live, youtube.com/formuladrift or formulad.com/facebookwatch
Fans will be able to join teams, drivers and organizers as they celebrate the end of another successful season and look forward to 2021. Among the award recipients will be 2020 Formula DRIFT PRO Champion Vaughn Gittin Jr, Link ECU PRO2 Champion Dmitriy Brutskiy, and FD PRO Rookie of the Year Adam LZ. So start the weekend early and join us for the Formula DRIFT Virtual Awards Banquet on Friday.
2021 SEASON
Thank you for supporting the 2020 Formula DRIFT PRO and Link ECU PRO2 Championships. We will communicate details of the 2021 FD schedule in the New Year. Please visit formulad.com for driver profiles, new content and more.
Vaughn Gittin Jr claims the 2020 FD PRO Championship
Fredric Aasbo wins FD PRO Round Seven
Aurimas Bakchis wins FD PRO Round Eight
Dmitriy Brutskiy is the 2020 Link ECU PRO2 Champion
Mike Power wins FD PRO2 Round Four
After months of speculation about whether there would even be a 2020 Formula DRIFT season, the teams arrived at The House of Drift – Irwindale Speedway – for the tradition season finale. With eight PRO and four Link ECU PRO2 Championship rounds squeezed into a compressed calendar of double-header events, the TYPE S Title Fight Weekend would be the ultimate test of resilience and consistency. The high-speed course used for the previous two rounds at Texas Motor Speedway had exacted a heavy toll on minds and machinery, and Irwindale would provide no relief. With its high-speed banking and unforgiving walls, both metal and egos would be dented or demolished before the PRO and PRO2 Champions were crowned.
To reflect the importance of the Link ECU PRO2 Championship, its Final Round would take place on Saturday, while Rounds Seven and Eight of the PRO Championship were scheduled for Friday and Sunday. And to sprinkle an extra wrinkle, Formula DRIFT had created a slightly different track layout to challenge the drivers further.
