Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta

Circuit · USA, Braselton, Georgia

Where Formula Drift started, and the only round it never dropped.

The first Formula Drift event in history ran here in 2004, on a course built for the discipline that year, the downhill back straight into turn ten and the horseshoe, not the esses.

The venue has carried the round every season except 2020, when the shortened calendar dropped it. It is not the only such survivor: Evergreen has run without a break since 2006, and Irwindale went twenty years from the series' first season.

It is also the round that runs into darkness. The late session under lights, with the crowd on the bank, is the image most people outside the sport have of American drift.
