Note: Single-source report; awaiting corroboration.

Drifting, a motorsport originating in the 1970s on Japan’s mountain roads, has rapidly become one of the fastest growing disciplines worldwide, especially among younger audiences.

After drifting gained recognition as an official motorsport, the FIA launched the inaugural FIA Intercontinental Drifting Cup in 2017.

This event is the first international drifting competition under FIA governance, marking a major milestone in the sport’s formalisation on the global stage.
