Formula DRIFT and GRIDLIFE will combine forces at Round Two of the Formula DRIFT Championship at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta, which is scheduled for Mother’s Day Weekend on May 8-10, 2025.

The event is the first of its kind where a track owner and two sanctioning bodies will work together to bring the best possible drift entertainment to the Southeast for what is already a marquee event on the Formula DRIFT calendar.

In what will be an action-packed weekend for fans, Formula DRIFT will bring both its PRO and PROSPEC Championships to the track. This will include practice sessions, competitive tandem Seeding Bracket Qualification, both Top 32 Competition Heats, driver autograph sessions and more. Additionally, GRIDLIFE will add three of its own signature elements, including Time Attack, GLTC Touring Cup and the Rush SR spec series.

And the cherry on the cake for all in attendance will be the GRIDLIFE Full Course Drift event, where drivers slide around the entire 2.54-mile, 12-turn, undulating track. Given that the world’s best drifters will already be in attendance and participating alongside GRIDLIFE entrants, this alone is guaranteed to grab headlines.

Road Atlanta is firmly established in Formula DRIFT history. As the only track used by the series throughout its 22-year history, it is one of the most highly anticipated and best attended events of the year. And it will again host both Round 2 of the FD PRO Championship and the opening round of the PROSPEC Championship. With the drivers tackling one of the fastest courses of the season, set within a dramatic, natural amphitheater, the excitement level is off the charts. And by adding even more entertainment with GRIDLIFE participation, the event is going to be the biggest drift festival ever.

The GRIDLIFE elements will take place alongside the Formula DRIFT itinerary throughout May 8-10. And they aren’t holding back: as the fast growing participatory road race event series in the US, GRIDLIFE will present its full road course competition series at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta. 

The Formula DRIFT Championship at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta is conducted at the Turn 10 complex where drivers navigate a one-of-a-kind track going both up and down this world-class facility. Three Judges review each battle and at the end of two successive laps a winner is chosen. The bracket starts with 32 drivers and then follow a bracket style competition until only one driver is left, who is the winner of the event.
