In just four days time, 30 world-class drivers will tackle an obstacle defined car park track in Belfast’s Titanic Quarter.

Custom built on the banks of the River Lagan and overlooked by the spectacular Titanic Belfast and the Harland & Wolff ship yard, this really is the motorsports event of the year.

Red Bull Car Park Drift will mark the first of the 2022 series qualifiers in Belfast which will see a very special appearance and display from Ireland’s top drift racer, Red Bull Athlete Conor Shanahan.

The driver line-up was announced today, with the top 20 amateur drivers automatically qualified from the Irish Drift Championship. Red Bull have invited 10 other promising drivers to compete as Wildcards.

What exactly happens at the Red Bull Car Park Drift?

The top 20 drivers will compete on Saturday, with the top 10 from the day qualifying for Sunday where they will meet the Wildcard drivers for a Heat, Top 8 and Final 4 battle.
