Formula Drift Announces 2021 Schedule

Formula Drift has announced its schedule for the 2021 season, which kicks off in May at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta. The traditional season opener on the streets of Long Beach has been moved to September in conjunction with the rescheduled Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach. The race will serve as a special, invitational event. 

Two fresh venues—the new, purpose-built Englishtown Raceway Park in New Jersey and Lake Erie Speedway in Pennsylvania—have been added to the familiar six tracks, including the season finale at Irwindale Speedway in Southern California. 

As recently announced, the Link ECU PROSPEC category replaces the PRO2 series, allowing phased updates to the Technical and Sporting regulations over the next few seasons as part of the series’ evolution. For 2021, PROSPEC qualifying and competition will occur on the same days as the senior FD PRO category.

Races will be available to stream online at formulad.com and on Formula DRIFT social media and YouTube channels.
