With round 1 settled at İstanbul Park, the Türkiye Drift Şampiyonası turns its attention to Gaziantep for round 2 on 24 May 2026. Just under four weeks separate the field from the next set of championship points.
The opener left the top of the table looking decisive. Rüzgar Okman banked the full 100 points to lead the chase, with Çağlar Küçükdumlu on 90 and Akay Akbil on 78 rounding out the early podium. Gaziantep is the field's next chance to chip into that margin.
The Türkiye Drift Şampiyonası (TDŞ) is Türkiye's premier drift championship, organised under the APEXMASTERS banner. The series brings together the country's top professional drift drivers and a growing international field.
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 TDŞ weekend at Gaziantep.
