Drifting is an exceptionally demanding discipline for engineering. Extreme temperatures, prolonged high-rev driving, and sudden load changes are everyday reality for the 37 best drivers from around the world. In such conditions, the phrase “tested in drifting conditions” stops being just a slogan — it becomes proof of performance under pressure. For ORLEN OIL, this is a perfect testing ground.

According to Anna Ruszczak, Director of the Operational Marketing Office at ORLEN OIL, the brand’s presence at Drift Masters Grand Prix is more than standard sponsorship. It is a real declaration of quality and a testing ground for products.

“As ORLEN OIL, we are entering the demanding world of professional drifting with a clear message: where technology must perform without compromise, we provide solutions tested in the most extreme conditions,” says Anna Ruszczak. In drifting, we say “we put it to the test,” subjecting our products to real trials and the highest loads on track — so that we can deliver this quality and reliability to every driver on everyday roads.

The cooperation with Drift Masters Grand Prix is not only about branding on the tracks, but above all the presence of ORLEN OIL at the heart of a spectacle that attracts millions of viewers in front of screens and hundreds of thousands in the stands — including the grand finale at the National Stadium in Warsaw.

“We are extremely pleased with ORLEN OIL’s commitment to supporting the development of drifting at the highest global level. We believe this partnership will bring long-term benefits to both sides, while also contributing to further professionalization and promotion of drifting on the international stage,” says Adam Krawczak, CEO of Drift Masters.

“Drifting has always been built on passion, precision, and pushing limits — both for drivers and technology. That is why we are very pleased that ORLEN OIL becomes the technical partner of Drift Masters in the 2026 season. It is a brand that fully understands motorsport and the demands of operating in the most extreme conditions. Together, we want to further develop a spectacle that already inspires millions of drifting fans worldwide. I believe this cooperation will bring great energy to the entire series and allow us to reach an even higher level,” emphasizes Arkadiusz Dudko, Vice President of Drift Masters.
