Team Tandem Competition for Grassroots Drifters at NOLA Motorsports
Grab your team and hit the track in a new 16-team bracket, battling against other Grassroots Tandem Pairs just like you. With Drift South's Formula Drift Pro Am taking place all weekend on the Kart Track, we want to make sure our Grassroots Drifters can have a competition of their own. Competitions will kick off once the OTD on the Skidpad ends and will run until the round is finished. The next day follows the same structure, with the top 8 teams advancing to decide the winner.
