ABOUT EXCITEGP ROUND 1:
ExciteGP is style focused grassroots competition drift series put on by iTrack Motorsports. These events are designed to give drivers maximum seat time. With open drift sessions and hot lapping qualifying, there is no shortage of driving. For ExciteGP, all cars are required to have all bodywork, painted, and complete.

ExciteGP Round 1 will kick off on Saturday April 23rd at Talladega Gran Prix Raceway in Alabama. We are extremely excited to host our second ExciteGP event at TGPR running the full road course! We believe this track will make for extremely close battles with crazy speeds!

The event on Saturday and Sunday will operate the same way events at FDD. We will run three (3) separate lines and alternate throughout the morning, starting at 9am. At noon, judges will begin making their top 16 brackets for Clubsport and Legends classes. At 3:30pm, we will start the competition for the Legends class. Drivers will battle in a Top 16 bracket until a winner is decided.

On Sunday morning, we will open the track at 9am. We will run hot track for a 2 hour period before going to the Clubsport Top 16 battles from 12-1pm. We again will battle for a Top 16 winner and awards will be given. After the comp, we will go hot track until 6pm when the event ends.

No driver is required to compete in the competition and not running the competition has no effect on seat time! You can just sign up and not compete!
