The anniversary edition of Drift Masters 2024 is now in the books! Two days of intense competition on the track, packed with attractions and a thrilling atmosphere.
On September 13-14, the 10th edition of the European Drift Championship took place, marking the final round of the 2024 season. Once again, the event was held at Warsaw’s PGE National Stadium, which was filled with over 50,000 fans from around the world. It was an unforgettable experience. Due to the forecasted rain, the organizers decided to hold the competition under the closed roof. This raised concerns that smoke from drifting could set off the fire alarm. However, this issue was avoided by regularly spraying the track with water, which not only reduced smoke but also ensured consistent driving conditions for the competitors throughout the event.
Auto Partner SA, MaXgear, and Quaro, the main sponsor of Paweł Korpuliński (who drives a Nissan Silvia S14), were all well-represented at the expo. Visitors to our booth enjoyed various activities, including a professional drift simulator. Every attendee received branded gifts and had the opportunity to explore our product lineup.
In the competition, Lauri Heinonen emerged as the new European drift champion, scoring 437 points overall. The level of competition was intense and impressive, with Europe’s top drifters showcasing their skills. The roaring support from the fans highlighted the growing popularity of this sport. Poland’s best performer was Paweł Korpuliński, who secured an impressive fifth place overall with 265 points.
