EVENT PREVIEW

Race Preview: TDK 2026/2 - Gaziantep

With İstanbul Park done and Sinam Gazi leading the chase, TDK heads to Gaziantep for round 2 on 24 May 2026.

With round 1 in the books at İstanbul Park, the TOSFED Drift Kupası sets its sights on Gaziantep for round 2 on 24 May 2026. Just under four weeks separate the field from the next set of championship points.

The opener delivered a clear top of the table. Sinam Gazi banked the full 100 points to take the championship lead, with Cem Djemal on 90 and Durali Bostan on 78 rounding out the early podium. Gaziantep is the field's next chance to chip into that margin.

The TOSFED Drift Kupası (TDK) is the second-tier championship under the APEXMASTERS umbrella, sanctioned by TOSFED, the Türkiye Otomobil Sporları Federasyonu. It runs alongside the Türkiye Drift Şampiyonası and serves as a development series for emerging drift talent.

Race Format

The event runs the standard APEXMASTERS drift format. Each driver gets three qualifying runs scored on line, angle and overall execution, with the best run counting. The Top 16 (or Top 32, depending on entry size) advance to a single-elimination tandem bracket. Each tandem battle uses two runs (one lead, one chase) and is decided by the judges on combined performance.

Save the date and stay tuned to the official APEXMASTERS channels in the run-up to the TDK weekend at Gaziantep.
