Drift Indy Grand Prix Press Release

Drift Indy Grand Prix DIGP

We are super excited to introduce a new series ahead of the 2025 season! Drift Indy Grand Prix is the next level in stylish, skilled and exciting driving. DIGP rounds will be held alongside Drift Indy Street League rounds.

Over several seasons of competing in DISL, many of our drivers have leveled up both their builds and their skills behind the wheel. DIGP takes the ethos of DISL and steps it up a notch. Our most stylish, higher-horsepower killers will fight to qualify in prelims for a spot in the top 16, where they’ll be matched up against each other for the main event. From there, it will follow the same tandem battle format as DISL.

“The goal is to have fun showcasing drifting, showcasing this wonderful motorsport that has given so much to us,” Edgar Sarmiento said.

DIGP drivers have evolved along with DISL, and many are pushing the boundaries of street car style. This new competition series will allow them to put on a show and demonstrate what it means to be the cream of the crop of midwest drifting.

The new series will use the same tire rules as DISL, but drivers will be required to have a caged car and a fire suit. Style will be enforced the same ways (lower your car), but interior rules are relaxed a little bit for DIGP.

This is not just another pro-am with overbuilt cars and underdeveloped drivers. This is what drifting can be when you strip it down to what it’s all about: looking cool and shredding with your buddies. Interested drivers will be able to apply to compete ahead of each round.
