AIT 2026 Concurrent Event | D1 Drift Grand Prix

From October 16–18 this year, the AIT All in Tuning Show (Dongguan) will once again host the D1 Grand Prix concurrently, marking the third consecutive year of this exciting partnership. Each year, D1 has been more spectacular than the last, and this year, the event will bring new experiences and exciting twists while taking professional drifting to the next level.

D1 is the pinnacle of drifting competition. This year’s event will fully adopt D1GP international competition rules, judging standards, scoring systems, track specifications, and other professional standards, bringing the event fully in line with international practices. Spectators can enjoy a world-class drifting competition without leaving the country.

In addition to the professionalism and excitement that fans have come to expect, D1GP will bring some exciting new changes this year. For example, a new category will be introduced this year — D1 LIGHTS (D1LT), a young drivers’ class within the D1 drifting competition system. As a global drifting series, D1 provides young drivers with a clear pathway to grow from entry-level competition to the highest level of the sport, helping make drifting a more accessible and popular form of motorsport. If you’re into cars, you’ve got to experience D1!

For example, this year’s D1 prix will be held on an entirely new track for the first time. In previous editions, drivers competed on a temporarily laid asphalt track. This year, the entire track will feature a brand-new concrete surface, giving drivers more freedom to showcase their drifting skills within the competition rules. A brand-new track means an even more exciting D1 experience!
