BIOGRAPHY
Çağlar Küçükdumlu is a professional drift racer competing in the Türkiye Drift Şampiyonası. His goal is to support the development of the sport by being an exemplary athlete.
A mechanical engineer, husband and father, Küçükdumlu blends a lifelong love of cars with a professional racing career. He got his start in motorsport through amateur karting in high school and spent four years as captain of the Gazi University Karting Team.
After moving into drifting in 2017, he steadily climbed the championship standings across his first four seasons, rising from 11th to 8th to 7th before reaching the top in 2022. That year he won both the drivers' and teams' titles in the Türkiye Drift Şampiyonası Pro category, then finished runner-up in the drivers' standings in 2023 and 2024. He also took runner-up honors in the team standings in 2019 and 2021. He placed 8th overall in 2025 and opened the 2026 season in title contending form, finishing runner-up at the İstanbul opener and winning Round 2 in Gaziantep.
Backed over his career by brands such as Motul and Petlas, Küçükdumlu has raced internationally in Cyprus, sharing the track with world-renowned drifters James Deane and Duane McGeever. His ambition is to contest a full season in a European championship such as Drift Masters with the right sponsorship behind him.
His weapon on track is a Nissan Silvia S14 built around an RB25DET NEO engine producing 750 horsepower.
