DRIFT Masters has announced the official driver line-up for the 2025 season, and gunning for a return to glory this year is the 2023 champion, Conor Shanahan.

The 19 year old Cork native will line-up on the grid alongside 2024 champion Lauri Heinonen, 2017 champion Adam Zalewski and mutil-time champions Piotr Wiecek and James Deane.

Alongside them on the grid will be, to name but a few of the many fan favourites returning, Duane McKeever, Kevin Piskolty, Benediktas Cirba, Tor Arne Kvia, Kuba Przygonski and the return of Japanese driver, Naoki Nakamura for a full season once again.

Drift Masers will also see a number of drivers joining the grid for their first full season in the championship, such as France’s Jason Banet, Finland’s Jarkko Jylhä, Espen Rohde from Norway and Cypriot driver, George Christoforou.

The 2025 grid will also see former Drift Masters commentator David Egan will jump into the driver seat for this season, alongside his Irish teammate, teenager Conor Falvey.

Round 1 kicks off on April 25 at the Vallelunga Race Track in Italy.
