Latvia to Host Intercontinental Drift Cup in 2025

The Federation Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) has announced the return of the Intercontinental Drift Cup (FIA IDC), which will take place in Riga, Latvia, from October 3 to 5, 2025. This event marks a significant revival for the drift racing series, which had its last competition in 2021. ## Exciting Venue for the Competition

The drift races will be held at the Bikernieki Racing Circuit, a well-known venue that previously hosted the FIA IDC. Organizers aim to create a thrilling atmosphere that showcases the talents of top drifters from around the world.

In a statement, FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem noted, “The return of the FIA Intercontinental Drift Cup highlights the continuing global expansion of motorsport. Drifting is growing, and its presence in regions with developing motorsport scenes demonstrates FIA’s commitment to doubling global participation.”

Future Organizational Details Awaited

Details regarding the organization of the tournament remain unclear. Previously, the Russian Drift Series acted as the promoter for the FIA IDC. However, following the sanctions imposed on Russian motorsport in 2022, they are no longer in a position to host the event.

As preparations begin for this highly anticipated competition, motorsport enthusiasts can look forward to more updates on the event’s organization and competing teams.

For latest updates, fans are encouraged to subscribe to news channels and follow motorsport newsletters, ensuring they do not miss critical announcements and promotional offers related to the Intercontinental Drift Cup.
