BAKCHIS WINS OPENING ROUND OF 2021 FORMULA DRIFT PRO CHAMPIONSHIP AT ROAD ATLANTA

Perfect weather greeted fans as they arrived at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta for Round One of the 2021 Formula DRIFT PRO Championship. All were expecting a world-class drift competition and nobody left disappointed. 

The track, which hosted the inaugural FD event in 2004, remains a favorite among drivers and fans alike – its high-speed approach, flowing turns, and six-story elevation change give the track a unique character. And it’s a great place to start another year of epic drift battles after the traditional season-opener on the Streets of Long Beach was rescheduled to September 17-18.

Aurimas Bakchis wins FD PRO Round Eight

Dmitriy Brutskiy is the 2020 Link ECU PRO2 Champion

Mike Power wins FD PRO2 Round Four

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.

And in an effort to still deliver eight PRO category rounds there would be a compressed format this year, with each venue hosting a double-header for the PRO category on Saturday and Sunday, and the PRO2 category on Friday.
