In a momentous milestone, Drift Kings International Series proudly announces its 20th season, a jubilant celebration of two decades at the forefront of professional motorsport. This landmark season promises an exhilarating journey for drift racing enthusiasts, accentuated by a carefully curated selection of European tracks that pay homage to the series’ illustrious legacy.
The 20th European season kick-starts with a return to the iconic Tokol Drift Arena in Hungary for round 1. Round 2 will witness the resurrection of the classic French round at Anneau du Rhin with MSO, setting the stage for a colossal clash featuring 160 skilled drivers and 182kph attack speed. The excitement continues with round 3 at legendary Mariapocs, unveiling a captivating new mixed race with Trackwood that amplifies the relentless pursuit of excellence.
Raising the stakes, in partnership with NDC, round 4 introduces the world-famous Nürburgring, nestled in the untamed German wilderness. The crescendo reaches it’s peak in round 5 at the Serres racing circuit, where we will crown the champions of Pro2 and Queen Series. Last but not least, the ProSeries grand finale unfolds at the enchanting Drift Island of Cyprus, a cherished haven for drift racing enthusiasts across the globe.
In tandem with the regular series, Drift Kings International Series proudly reintroduces the highly anticipated Nations Cup. This celebration of team spirit, national pride, and camaraderie promises heightened excitement, with limited spots available for countries.
To celebrate our 20th season, we are introducing another new vibe: the Retro Drift Cup, the world’s first International Historic Drift Race. Picture this: cars made before 1995, rocking a max of 205 street tires. It’s all about bringing back that 2005 drifting vibe-where skills shine, and it’s all about the driver, not just the machine. Get ready to feel the nostalgia in the air!
The Asia Cup is set to make a triumphant return for its much-anticipated 10th season! In a strategic move, we are thrilled to announce Malaysia as our Asian home base for the upcoming season with two thrilling events in June and December, featuring four action-packed rounds. We extend an open invitation to drivers from across the region and around the globe to join us in Malaysia for an unparalleled racing experience. Prepare to be captivated by the warm embrace of local hospitality, the impeccable organization of events, and the consistently pleasant weather boasting 30+ degrees Celsius all year long.
