RIYADH: Motorsport fans will turn their attention to Al-Janadriyah Parking Area this weekend — and the opening rounds of the Drift and Autocross Championships, part of the 2025 Saudi Toyota Championship calendar.

The event is organized by the Saudi Automobile & Motorcycle Federation, supported by the Ministry of Sport, in collaboration with official partner Jameel Motorsport and the Saudi Motorsport Marshals Club.

This round will see a distinguished lineup of drivers from across the Kingdom and the region and is part of the SAMF’s efforts to expand ºÚÁÏÉçÇøâ€™s motorsport base.

The championship also serves as a vital platform for young Saudi talent, offering professional opportunities in a competitive environment that meets the highest international standards.

The round will begin with registration and administrative checks, followed by technical inspections, before concluding with a drivers’ briefing.

The drift competition takes place over three rounds, with the drivers demonstrating their skills in car control and drifting across specially designed tracks. Competitors will be judged according to criteria such as precision, vehicle control, speed and overall style.

The autocross competition also features three rounds and focuses primarily on driver skill and accuracy. Participants will face the challenge individually on a traffic cone-lined course — a narrow and precise layout that demands the highest levels of concentration and control.

The Saudi Toyota Championship made its debut in 2019, marking a milestone for motorsport in the Kingdom. It has since grown into one of the region’s most significant racing series, bringing together diverse competitions such as rally, time attack, hill climb, drag, karting and esports, as well as autocross and drift.
