As the 2024 Formula DRIFT season comes to a close, anticipation is already building for 2025, with new faces, exciting venue changes, and an action-packed schedule.
The 2024 season saw a wave of new drivers stepping into the PRO Championship, including the top three finishers from the 2024 FD Link ECU PROSPEC Championship. These drivers—Tommy Lemaire (Canada), Connor O'Sullivan (USA), and Austin Matta (USA)—will make their PRO debut at Long Beach on April 4-5. They’ll be joined by rookies Luke Fink (Australia) and Jack Shanahan (Ireland), the latter known for his success in the British and Irish Drift Championships. We expect them to make an immediate impact in the series.
The 2025 Formula DRIFT season kicks off with the iconic Streets of Long Beach, followed by exciting rounds at some of the most challenging and beloved tracks in the US. Notable highlights include the Formula DRIFT x GRIDLIFE Festival at Road Atlanta (May 8-10), which combines FD PRO Round 2, PROSPEC Round 1, and a full GRIDLIFE track schedule for a motorsports triple-header.
The full schedule includes:
- Streets of Long Beach – April 4-5
- Road Atlanta – May 8-10
- Orlando Speed World – May 30-31
- Englishtown Raceway – June 19-21
- World Wide Technology Raceway – July 17-19
