Greece to Host 2026 FIA Intercontinental Drifting Cup

The Federation Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) has announced that Greece will host the 2026 FIA Intercontinental Drifting Cup.

This selection comes as part of a broader strategic expansion by the governing body, which is simultaneously launching its first regional drifting competitions.

The introduction of regional competitions marks a significant shift in the FIA’s management of the discipline, aiming to create a more structured competitive framework for drivers across different territories.

By establishing these regional tiers, the FIA intends to broaden the accessibility of drifting and provide a formalized pathway for competitors to ascend toward premier international events.

The Intercontinental Drifting Cup represents a high-level gathering of talent, and the decision to bring the 2026 event to Greece highlights the growing global footprint of the sport.

The expansion into regional competitions is expected to help standardize regulations and safety protocols, ensuring that the sport develops consistently under the oversight of the FIA.

This move aligns with the FIA’s ongoing efforts to diversify its motorsport portfolio and support disciplines that emphasize both technical precision and spectator appeal.

The 2026 event in Greece will serve as a focal point for the drifting community, showcasing the results of the newly implemented regional structures as drivers compete for international recognition.
