Off The Rails is not your average drift event — it’s a fresh, aggressive take on grassroots competition. Built around a Top 32 battle bracket, this event throws drivers head-to-head in intense tandem matchups where every battle matters, every win earns a reward, and every round builds momentum.Unlike traditional competitions that only reward the podium, Off The Rails introduces a tiered prize structure. Drivers earn payouts or prizes after every battle win, with rewards increasing round-by-round — keeping pressure high and drivers fighting all the way to the top.
For the first time, the oval is unlocked for drifting. A section of track that has always been off-limits will be integrated into the Off The Rails competition layout. After this event, it returns to restricted status. Once it’s gone — it’s gone.
Qualifying: The Tandem Jam
We’re flipping the script on qualifying. Instead of high-pressure single runs, drivers will participate in a 2-hour Tandem Jam Session.
During this open-format session:
>> Drivers may run unlimited laps
>> Drivers choose their tandem partners
>> Judges evaluate both lead and follow performance
>> Focus is placed on style, commitment, flow, and adaptability
Why a Tandem Jam?
>> More seat time
>> More action for spectators
>> More accurate judging under real tandem conditions
>> Less pressure, more performance
>> Higher energy in pits and on track
Drivers are free to link up, throw down, and showcase consistency across multiple runs. Aggressive leads. Surgical chase runs. Real tandem chemistry. At the conclusion of the jam, judges will select the Top 32 drivers based on overall performance and slot them into the main bracket.
Competition Format
>> Top 32 Battle Bracket
