Pınar Özge Kılcı

Pınar Özge Kılcı (born 10 March 1994 in İstanbul) is one of the most prominent names in Turkish drifting and the only female driver to have reached the podium in the Türkiye Drift Şampiyonası.

She began drifting in 2020 and has built a steady, season after season rise through the national championship. After finishing 24th in 2021 and 19th in 2022, she broke into the top ten in 2023 and was crowned Women's Champion that same year. Her breakthrough arrived in 2024, when she finished 3rd overall in the PRO category with two podium results, the strongest performance ever recorded by a woman in the series. She continued to compete at the front in 2025, placing 7th overall.

Beyond her results, Kılcı is a pioneering figure in a male dominated discipline, widely recognised as the only woman racing and standing on the podium at the highest level of Turkish drift competition.
