ORLEN OIL Technical Partner of Drift Masters 2026. Grand Finale at PGE Narodowy with Kuba Przygoński

2026-09-08
The Red Bull Drift Masters Grand Finale is returning to Warsaw! On September 11-12, 2026, PGE Narodowy will once again transform into a spectacular drifting arena. The world's best drivers, including Kuba Przygoński, will battle for the championship title. Fans can expect top-level motorsport action, while the reliability of the competing machines will be supported by ORLEN OIL, the event's Official Technical Partner.

High-Octane Season Finale at PGE Narodowy

The season of Europe's most spectacular drifting series is set to conclude in style. Building on the success of the last three record-breaking editions, organizers expect more than 50,000 motorsport fans from around the world to fill the stands of PGE Narodowy over the two-day event.

The world's top drivers will take to the track behind the wheel of machines often producing well over 1,000 horsepower. Defending champion Conor Shanahan of Ireland returns to protect his title, but heading into the finale, Piotr Więcek leads the overall standings, closely followed by Paweł Korpuliński. Both are among the leading contenders for overall victory in Warsaw. The field will also feature other Polish drivers, including Kuba Przygoński and Jakub Król.

The twin drift battle format demands exceptional precision from drivers, requiring them to maintain the ideal racing line, angle, and style while staying just inches away from their opponents. Here, the difference between winning and losing is measured in centimeters, and there is virtually no margin for error. Under such extreme conditions, machinery must perform flawlessly. That is why ORLEN OIL serves as the event's Official Technical Partner, delivering the quality and reliability required by vehicles operating under immense stress and demanding conditions.

Formula 1, Lasers and an Open Paddock

This year's finale reaches a new level thanks to the presence of Formula 1 cars from Oracle Red Bull Racing and Visa Cash App Racing Bulls. Fans will witness a series of unprecedented showcases, including:

  • Head-to-head F1 showdown: Two Formula 1 cars competing on a tight stadium circuit in a format never seen during a traditional Grand Prix.
  • Donut battle: A direct contest between a Formula 1 car and a high-powered drift machine to determine which can complete the most donuts on the spot.
  • Open paddock: Fans holding eligible tickets will have the opportunity to get up close to Formula 1 engineering masterpieces as well as some of the world's top drifting builds.
The spectacle will be enhanced by impressive pyrotechnic and laser displays scheduled for the conclusion of the event. PGE Narodowy remains the only venue in Europe capable of creating such a massive indoor drifting arena. It is here, on September 12, that the 2026 Drift Masters Champion will be crowned.
