The 2026 Jordan Drift Championship reached its finale under floodlights at the Dead Sea Circuit, at the Jordan Rally grounds, on 3–4 September. Organised by the Jordan Motorsports Federation and sponsored by Zain Jordan, the third and final round drew 37 drivers chasing points in the overall standings.
A regional grid
The entry list underlined how international Jordan’s series has become, with drivers from Jordan, Palestine, Egypt, Oman and Libya. Machinery ranged across the classic drift brands — BMW, Toyota, Nissan, Infiniti and Lexus.
Format
- Thursday 3 September: qualifying runs to set the order
- Friday 4 September: the final, with the top qualifiers advancing to tandem battles (Top 16, 24 or 32 depending on numbers)
A championship with history
The Dead Sea has long been the home of Jordanian drifting, and the series has produced some of the region’s best-known names, including Anas Al Helo, Raafat Haroun and 2025 champion Moaid Yusuf. Last year’s finale at the same venue was won by Egypt’s Karim Hani, with Yusuf taking the overall title on consistency.
A month later, the same Dead Sea area hosted Red Bull Car Park Drift Jordan at the HoverUp Track — proof that the Kingdom remains one of the busiest drift hubs in the Arab world.
