Formula DRIFT Announces 2025 Schedule

Formula DRIFT Announces 2025 Schedule

As Formula DRIFT gears up for 2025, the series is looking at its next chapter with big updates to its calendar and a mix of familiar and fresh talent in the lineup. The recent close to the 2024 season at Irwindale Speedway carries added significance this time, marking the end of an era. In 2025, Irwindale Speedway - the iconic “House of Drift” - will lock its gates for good, breaking a 21-year streak as the setting for every FD PRO Championship showdown. With its departure, the Formula DRIFT team is already in discussions to secure a new Southern California venue that can host the action, with more details expected in the coming months.

The 2025 season will keep to its roots, hitting well-established venues across North America. The schedule kicks off in April with the Streets of Long Beach, then makes its way through Road Atlanta, Englishtown Raceway, and others before culminating in the new Southern California spot in October. This continuity is a nod to the improvements made to the tracks, ensuring competitors and fans can look forward to an elevated experience at each stop.

2025 PRO and PROSPEC Championship Schedule
Long Beach: April 4-5 (PRO)
Road Atlanta: May 8-10 (PRO/PROSPEC)
Orlando Speed World: May 30-31 (PRO)
Englishtown Raceway: June 19-21 (PRO/PROSPEC)
World Wide Technology Raceway: July 17-19 (PRO/PROSPEC)
Evergreen Speedway: August 8-9 (PRO)
Utah Motorsports Campus: August 28-30 (PRO/PROSPEC)
TBD (Southern California): October 17-18 (PRO)

2025 Driver Lineup
The provisional driver roster for both the PRO and PROSPEC championships is stacked with returning competitors and several newcomers who’ve made a name for themselves in other drift leagues. PROSPEC Champion Tommy Lemaire, along with standouts Connor O’Sullivan and Austin Matta, will step up to the PRO category. Joining them is Irish drifting icon Jack Shanahan and Australia’s Luke Fink, a champion known for bringing a crowd-pleasing style to the track.

Meanwhile, in PROSPEC, new petitions are rolling in, and drivers like 13-year-old Cameren Sorensen—the youngest of the Sorensen drift siblings—aim to make their mark in the entry-level competition.

Formula DRIFT has positioned itself for another dynamic year, and with the final roster and details on the new California venue soon to be announced, 2025 looks ready to keep fans on the edge of their seats.
