Enver Haskasap wins TrackWood 2024, Giorgos Christoforou ‘Ela Koko’ finishes 2nd, and Massimo Checchin 3rd.
The 13th edition of the legendary TrackWood Drift Festival – including Hunakamo Drifting Pro Series & Drift Kings Round 3 in 2024 – happened last weekend in the cauldron of RabócsiRing. Almost 60 drivers from 16 countries were battling with each other and the extreme weather conditions to find out who would be the winners of the greatest night drift festival in the Eastern part of the Central European area.

The thrilling competition day didn’t lack hardcore door-to-door drift action in category pro: representing Turkey, Enver Haskasap – a new event-winner both in Drifting Pro Series and Drift Kings – triumphed over the 7x times Cypriot national champion Ela Koko. The battle for the bronze between Massimo Checchin and local pilot Péter Utasi ended up with the victory of the Italian.
The Pro 2 class race was entirely dominated by the domestic drivers: after the spectacular tandem runs the all-Hungarian podium consisted of Brúnó Hagymási, Erik Lobmayer and Bence Kozma-Tas. Champion of Drifting Pro Series 2023, the Slovakian Robert Horensky was the last Top 4-finisher.
Last but not least, the drift ladies’ contest resulted in Sandra Janušauskaitė’s victory from Lithuania. Alice Ene from Romania stood on the 2nd step of the podium while Sandra’s teammate in the Drift Happens Team, Deimantė Radzevičiūtė, collected the trophy for the bronze.

The CEO of Hunakamo Sport and organizer of the TrackWood Drift Festival, Szabolcs Béres, was over the moon after the competition: “TrackWood is always the highlight of our year. All the crazy spectators attending the cauldron of Rabócsiring to support their favourite drivers, all the talented pilots who are willing to sacrifice everything to take the victory, all the staff, marshalls, photographers and videographers who do their job passionately for the same goal. This is what TrackWood Drift Festival is about!” – he told us.
Although TrackWood Drift Festival 2024 has been the last round of Hunakamo Drifting Pro Series to be held in Hungary, don’t forget that Szabolcs Béres will be giving home to one more large drift event this year: round 5 of Drift Masters will take place in Máriapócs on 23-24th August.
