RoDrift 2025 Ignites Bucharest with Turbocharged Action

Despite rain-soaked skies over Bucharest’s iconic Piața Constituției, the 2025 RoDrift Championship season opener ignited the city with turbocharged excitement. Thousands of motorsport fans gathered near the Palace of the Parliament to witness Romania’s premier drift competition, showcasing the raw power and precision of high-performance cars.

Celebrating its 11th anniversary, RoDrift has grown into a national phenomenon, now boasting a community of over 70,000 passionate drift enthusiasts. The event highlighted the surging popularity of drifting and the increasing demand for cutting-edge turbo power solutions.

Garrett – Advancing Turbo Power and Innovation

Hands-On Experience and the Turbo Quiz

At the heart of the action was Garrett – Advancing Motion, drawing crowds to its dynamic stand. Visitors engaged with Garrett’s expert engineering team, explored three detailed turbocharger cutaways, and tested their knowledge in a multilingual Turbo Quiz—available in Romanian, English, and Bulgarian. Winners proudly walked away with exclusive Garrett merchandise. The Garrett Marketplace also made waves, offering easy access to the latest in turbo power and performance parts for drift and street cars alike.
Garrett Motion employee, passionate and enthusiast Thomas Staiculescu: “For Garrett Motion, being part of this event was not just about displaying our latest technology, but about truly engaging with the broader automotive community. Our interactive stand offered more than a standard product showcase. We set out to create a space where visitors could get hands-on with turbine and automotive innovation, put their knowledge to the test in real-time contests, and have direct conversations with our engineers.
