Moscow Raceway (Московский автодром)

Circuit · Russia, Moscow Oblast

RDS GP home. The most-watched non-FD drift series, on its main stage.

3.93 km Tilke-designed circuit ninety minutes north of Moscow, opened 2012. Russian Drift Series GP holds multiple championship rounds here every season, including the season opener, the broadcast that defines who showed up ready and who did not.

For drift specifically Moscow Raceway is the home of an entire continent's drift identity. Gocha Chivchyan, Arkady Tsaregradtsev, Damir Idiyatulin, the names that dominate the modern RDS leaderboard, built their championship runs on this asphalt. RDS produces the most-watched drift series outside Formula Drift; Moscow Raceway is where it happens most often.

The crowd here is loyal, technical and loud. Russian drift culture's platform diversity, BMW E36, S-chassis, JZX100, modern Mustang, is on display every event. If your education on professional drift goes only through FD and Drift Masters, RDS at Moscow Raceway is the third leg you are missing.
