The drift track was set up in the square in front of the Romanian Parliament building. Drivers from Moldova, Romania and Bulgaria took part in the final stage.
Ștefăneică finished qualifying in only 15th place, but this result was enough to secure a place in the top 16. In the subsequent heats, the Moldovan driver did not lose a single race.
In the first round, Ștefăneică beat Efim Mazur, and in the quarter-finals he defeated Hristiyan Boyadzhiev. In the semi-finals, the Moldovan driver proved stronger than Iskren Ignatov.
In the SemiPRO class final, Ștefenică faced Bojan Marinov and secured victory. He thus won four races in a row following a disappointing qualifying session and finished the final stage in first place.
The final top four in the SemiPRO class are as follows:
– Victor Ștefenică — Moldova;
– Boyan Marinov — Bulgaria;
– Albert Valentin Chotu — Romania;
– Iskren Ignatov — Bulgaria.
What is RoDrift?
RoDrift is a Romanian drift racing series featuring drivers from Romania and other countries in the region. Essentially, it is a championship where drivers compete not for the fastest lap time, but for the quality of their controlled drifts.
A round usually begins with qualifying, the results of which determine the rankings. The top 16 drivers then progress to head-to-head knockout heats. In the quarter-finals, semi-finals and final, the drivers compete in pairs until a winner is decided.
In drifting, it is not just speed that is assessed. The judges look at the drift angle, the line taken, speed, proximity to the designated points on the track and the stability of the run. In head-to-head heats, the ability to keep up with an opponent is also assessed.
