Formula DRIFT continues to expand its international presence with the announcement of its newest affiliate, Funcity Drift, based in Taiwan. This partnership marks a significant step forward in growing the competitive drifting scene in the region, providing Taiwanese drivers with a potential pathway to earn a Formula DRIFT competition license and compete at the highest level.
Funcity Drift has already established itself as a major force in Taiwan鈥檚 drift community, organizing the TDGP series鈥攖he largest drift championship in the country's history. With more than 40 drivers competing across multiple rounds, the series has seen remarkable growth in driver skill, vehicle performance, and public interest. In 2024, TDGP events attracted up to 2,000 spectators per round, while street races drew crowds exceeding 10,000, highlighting the increasing popularity of the sport.
Under the new agreement, Funcity Drift will align aspects of its operations with the Formula DRIFT rulebook and work to further develop the sport at a grassroots and professional level. The goal is to create a structured path for Taiwanese competitors, similar to the successful Formula DRIFT Japan series, and ultimately integrate them into the international drift scene.
For the 2025 season, Funcity Drift plans to expand its TDGP championship with a five-round series, including an Invitational event. The organization will also focus on refining its Group A and B divisions for more advanced drivers while introducing a new entry-level Group N category to encourage fresh talent.
With this new affiliation, Taiwanese drifting is poised for unprecedented growth. By working alongside Formula DRIFT, Funcity Drift is set to elevate the sport鈥檚 visibility and competitiveness, opening doors for local talent to make their mark on the global stage.
