Red Bull Car Park Drift is heading to Belfast in November

Belfast is set to host a major global drifting series later this month.

The world’s most exhilarating car park drift series, Red Bull Car Park Drift, will hit the iconic Titanic Quarter, Belfast on Sunday, 21st November.

Featuring 30 top drifters, drivers will tackle an obstacle defined car park track, custom built on the banks of the River Lagan, overlooked by the spectacular Titanic Belfast Experience and the Harland & Wolff Shipyard.

It all started in Japan, in the late-1970s and early-'80s. Daredevil drivers started putting their cars to the test on twisting mountain roads, accelerating out of corners earlier and earlier to turn their cars sideways.

This quickly morphed into a popular sport in Japan and huge crowds have gathered to watch organised competition ever since. Slowly but surely, this fast, noisy and technical discipline has caught on around the world.

Since that first event in Lebanon, Red Bull Car Park Drift has grown into a sprawling, regional competition, with qualifiers all over the Middle East, North Africa and Europe.

Featuring 30 top amateur drifters Red Bull Car Park Drift will mark the first of the 2022 series qualifiers in Belfast, with a limited number of tickets available for the final day (Sunday, 21st November).

Consisting of a knockout format, competitors will vie for the highest score to qualify to the next round, split into Heat 1, Top 8 and Final 4. Drifters’ performances are judged over a total of 400 points by four expert judges.​​​​​​

How to get tickets:

The spectacle will also include a very special appearance and display from Ireland’s top drift racer, Red Bull Athlete Conor Shanahan.

Tickets to the event are ON SALE NOW and can be purchased at RedBull.ie/CarParkDrift

There will be a limited number of Standing and Seated tickets available for the event Final on Sunday, 21st November kicking off at 5pm until 8pm.
