Piotr Więcek (born 27 July 1990 in Płock, Poland) is a Polish drifting driver, currently a Worthouse Drift Team member.[1]
Career[edit]
Więcek began drifting in 2010, signing a contract the following year with the Budmat Auto RB Team, which later became Budmat Auto Drift Team. Więcek competed for three titles in the European Drift Masters Grand Prix in 2014, 2015 and 2016.[2]
In 2017, he became a member of the Worthouse Drift Team. Together with their teammate James Deane, they began racing in Formula DRIFT (FD), considered to be the best drifting league in the world. Events take place in the United States.[3] Piotr finished the 2017 season in Formula DRIFT as Rookie of the Year, and as one of only three drivers in the history of FD to win a single round in the first season of starts.[3]
In 2020, the Worthouse Drift Team withdrew from competition due to COVID-19 restrictions. In the same statement, it was announced that James Deane would no longer be competing with Worthouse.
Więcek continued to win the Drift Masters European Championship consecutively in 2021 and 2022.
He is associated with yellow Nissans, mainly the 200SX and Skyline R34 models.
