ORLEN OIL has entered into a partnership with Drift Masters Grand Prix for the 2026 season. Partnering with the world’s most prestigious drifting series is a natural step for the brand in highlighting the reliability of Polish oil products in one of the most demanding disciplines in motorsport.
The partnership covers six rounds held at iconic venues across Europe, beginning with the Spanish round.
The official Drift Masters Grand Prix 2026 calendar is as follows:
Round 1 – Italy, Autodromo Vallelunga Piero Taruffi, Rome, 1–2 May;
Round 2 – Spain, Circuito del Madrid Jarama - RACE, 16–17 May;
Round 3 – Red Bull Drift Masters Ireland, Mondello Park, Kildare, 13–14 June;
Round 4 – Finland, Ahvenisto Race Circuit, Hämeenlinna, 11–12 July;
Round 5 – Latvia, Biķernieku Trase, Riga, 24–25 July;
Round 6 – Germany, Ferropolis, Gräfenhainichen, 13–15 August;
Round 7 – Red Bull Drift Masters Grand Finale, PGE Narodowy, Warsaw, 11–12 September.
Drifting is a discipline that is exceptionally unforgiving on machinery. Extreme temperatures, sustained high-rpm driving and sudden load changes are part of everyday life for the world’s 37 best drivers. In such conditions, the phrase “tested in drifting conditions” ceases to be just a slogan - it becomes proof of performance under pressure. For ORLEN OIL, it is the perfect testing ground.
No compromises under the hood
According to Anna Ruszczak, Director of the Operational Marketing Office at ORLEN OIL, the brand’s presence at Drift Masters Grand Prix tracks is more than standard sponsorship. It is a genuine declaration of quality and a real-world testing ground for its products.
“As ORLEN OIL, we are entering the demanding world of professional drifting with a clear message: wherever technology must perform without compromise, we deliver solutions proven in the most extreme conditions,” says Anna Ruszczak. “In drifting, we say ‘check’, subjecting our products to real tests and the highest loads on the track, so that we can pass this quality and reliability on to every driver on ordinary roads.”
The partnership with Drift Masters Grand Prix is not only about trackside branding, but above all about the presence of the ORLEN OIL brand at the heart of a spectacle that attracts millions of fans in front of screens and hundreds of thousands in the stands - including the final show at the National Stadium in Warsaw.
“We are extremely pleased to welcome ORLEN OIL’s commitment to supporting the development of drifting at the highest global level. We believe this partnership will bring long-term benefits to both parties while also contributing to the further professionalization and promotion of drifting on the international stage,” says Adam Krawczak, President of the Management Board of Drift Masters Grand Prix.
“Drifting has always been built on passion, precision and pushing the limits - both of drivers and technology. That is why we are very pleased that ORLEN OIL is becoming the technology partner of Drift Masters Grand Prix for the 2026 season. It is a brand that understands motorsport perfectly, as well as the demands of operating in the most extreme conditions. Together, we want to continue developing a spectacle that today inspires millions of drifting fans around the world. I believe this partnership will bring tremendous energy to the entire series and allow us to reach an even higher level,” emphasizes Arkadiusz Dudko, Vice President of the Management Board of Drift Masters Grand Prix.
