Formula DRIFT And GRIDLIFE Announce Exciting Collaboration For Major Drift Event At Road Atlanta In May 2025
Formula DRIFT and GRIDLIFE have announced a collaboration for the Formula DRIFT Championship's second round at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta. This event, taking place from May 8-10, 2025, will be a unique partnership between a track owner and two sanctioning bodies to deliver top-notch drift entertainment in the Southeast. The weekend promises to be action-packed with both PRO and PROSPEC Championships on display.
Fans can look forward to practice sessions, competitive tandem Seeding Bracket Qualification, Top 32 Competition Heats, and driver autograph sessions. GRIDLIFE will enhance the event by introducing its Time Attack, GLTC Touring Cup, and Rush SR series. A highlight will be the GRIDLIFE Full Course Drift event on the 2.54-mile track.

This collaboration aims to unite communities through shared experiences and create an unforgettable weekend celebrating motorsports culture.
