Drift fans, get ready for another exciting addition to the Drift Masters Championship! For the first time in the championship’s history, we’re shaking up qualifying and adding a new element called ‘The Qualifying Showdown‘. This exciting new addition to our existing qualifying system will see the top four qualifiers of each round face off in battles for extra championship points.
The 4 top qualifiers will now head to head in 2 semi-finals where the top qualifying driver goes up against the 4th, and the 2nd place qualifier will go up against the 3rd. The winner of this final gets 4 extra points in the championship standings while the 2nd place finisher gets 3 points. The other 2 drivers get 2 and 1 points, respectively, based on whichever driver scored higher in qualifying.
We’re super excited to have this new Qualifying Showdown and allow our fans to see the top-scoring drivers go door-to-door during our qualifying day before the main event. This new showdown will also allow drivers to cement their lead further by gaining more crucial championship points, which can make or break a championship.
