This event marked the first time a track owner and two major sanctioning bodies came together to co-host an integrated motorsports experience, combining Formula Drift’s competition formats with GRIDLIFE’s signature programs like DRIFT and TrackBattle Time Attack.
GRIDLIFE’s co-founder Chris Stewart expressed the sentiment of returning to Road Atlanta, calling it an iconic place for motorsports enthusiasts to come together, and being joined by Formula Drift elevated the experience. The weekend was a celebration of car culture, racing, and community on one of the Southeast’s most renowned circuits, showcasing a diverse array of motorsports activities for all attendees to enjoy. Despite the rain on Saturday, the competition continued at full throttle, with records being set and broken on the track, demonstrating the talent and dedication of the participating drivers. The success of the event has paved the way for future collaborations between GRIDLIFE and Formula Drift, promising more exciting opportunities for fans and participants in the years to come.
