The 2026 Drift Kings International Series returned for Round 2 with a weekend that had everything: sunshine, speed, pressure, mechanical heartbreak, and some of the most committed driving of the season so far.
Hosted at the legendary Anneau du Rhin in France, Round 2 brought together a strong international grid on what is now clearly the fastest track of the year. With great weather all weekend, perfect visibility, and a layout built for confidence, speed and aggression, the drivers had no place to hide. France was not just another stop on the calendar, it became a full-throttle battlefield where every category delivered drama.
The Fastest Track of the Year
Anneau du Rhin has always rewarded drivers who are brave enough to attack hard, but this year the numbers confirmed it. The benchmark remains Steve Leiber’s massive 185 km/h attack speed record, but with Steve not present this weekend, all eyes were on who could come closest.
And Sandra Janusauskaite did exactly that.
The Lithuanian driver launched herself into the attack zone at an incredible 183 km/h, coming within touching distance of the record. It was one of the biggest statements of the weekend: full commitment, full confidence, and absolutely no hesitation. Sandra was not just fast, she was everywhere, fighting at the front in multiple categories and proving once again why she is one of the strongest names in European drifting.
Pro2 Series: The French Armada Meets the Championship Fighters
The Pro2 category came to France with a serious local presence. The French armada was big, motivated, and ready to defend home soil, but as the battles progressed, the usual championship contenders reminded everyone why they are so difficult to beat.
Adam Vass, the 14-year-old Hungarian talent, continued his incredible rise in the sport. Behind the wheel of his Silvia S14 V8, he took 3rd place in France and now leads the Pro2 championship after two rounds. For a driver this young, the level of maturity, control and consistency is remarkable. Adam is no longer just “the young driver to watch” , he is now the championship leader.
Drago Roglinov from Bulgaria also delivered a strong weekend. Chasing the title with determination, he fought his way to 2nd place in France and now moves into 2nd position in the championship standings. His weekend was clean, focused and exactly the kind of result needed to stay in the title race.
But the winner of the weekend was no one else than the defending champion himself: Jeremy Cladt.
After missing Round 1, the boss is back. Jeremy returned with authority, took control when it mattered, and brought the gold trophy home in front of the French crowd. It was the kind of comeback that reminds everyone why he wears the champion’s target on his back.
There was also heartbreak in Pro2. Belgian driver Fred Mahon had high hopes to shine at Anneau du Rhin, but his weekend ended in the early stages. Felix Kramer also suffered bad luck with a last-minute gearbox issue, forcing him out before he could properly join the fight.
Pro2 once again proved that this championship will not be decided by speed alone. Reliability, mental strength, and the ability to survive every battle will be just as important.
Queen Series: Sandra Unstoppable
The Queen Series came with its own drama before the real battles even started. Clea Ulmer unfortunately had to skip the round due to technical issues, removing one of the expected contenders from the fight.
Alena Renaude, well known for her precision and sharp driving, immediately showed that she was ready. She took pole position with a strong performance and looked perfectly at home in the curves of Anneau du Rhin. Fast, composed and accurate, Alena gave herself the best possible starting point.
But this weekend, Sandra Janusauskaite was simply unstoppable.
The triple Queen winner carried her speed, confidence and aggression into every run. Even with Alena’s pole position and strong pace, Sandra found another level when it mattered most. Her weekend was a complete statement: fastest attack speed contender, Queen Series victory, and a major presence in the Pro Series podium battle.
When Sandra is in this form, the rest of the field has no margin for error.
Pro Series: France Strikes Back
The Pro Series brought a mix of international firepower, technical problems, championship movement, and one unforgettable home victory.
Michal Fojtik suffered ECU issues, cutting his weekend short and preventing him from showing his full potential. We hope to see him back at full throttle for Round 3. Valeri Moscovciuc had a solid weekend with his 1-Series BMW, showing good pace and commitment, but he could not reach the Final 4.
On the Hungarian side, Peter Porkoláb with his BMW E46 and Erik Lobmeyer with the Corvette Z06 also missed out on the Top 4, but their overall championship position remains strong. After two rounds, they now sit 2nd and 3rd respectively in the Pro Series rankings, proving that consistency across the season is just as valuable as a single podium result.
Then came the final podium — and it was stacked.
🥉 3rd place went to Gediminas Levickas 🇱🇹. The double Pro champion may have been unlucky not to take his first win of the season in France, but his result was still enough to take the overall lead of the Pro championship. That is exactly what champions do: even on weekends where victory slips away, they still collect the points that matter.
🥈 2nd place went to Sandra Janusauskaite 🇱🇹, completing what was almost a perfect hat-trick weekend. With the fastest attack speed of the event, the Queen Series victory, and a Pro Series podium, Sandra delivered one of the strongest all-around performances France has seen.
But the winner of the Pro Series weekend was a local hero:
🥇 Logan Postigo 🇫🇷.
A well-known name in France for more than a decade, and already familiar to Drift Kings fans from previous appearances, Logan arrived with serious machinery and even more serious intent. His unstoppable BMW E30 pickup is now pushing around 700 bhp for only 950 kg and at Anneau du Rhin, that combination was deadly.
Light, powerful, aggressive, and perfectly suited to the fastest layout of the season, Logan used every bit of that package to take the win on home soil. In front of the French crowd, against a strong international field, he delivered the result every local driver dreams of.
France had its winner. And Logan Postigo earned it.
Verdict: Speed, Pressure and Championship Fire
Round 2 France proved once again why Drift Kings is one of the most intense drifting series in Europe. Anneau du Rhin brought the speed. The weather brought the perfect stage. The drivers brought the show.
From Sandra’s 183 km/h attack speed to Jeremy Cladt’s Pro2 comeback, from Adam Vass leading the championship at only 14 years old to Logan Postigo’s home victory in the Pro Series, the weekend was packed with storylines that will shape the rest of the season.
The championship is now fully alive. The favourites are under pressure. The new generation is already fighting at the front. The veterans are still dangerous. And with Hungary coming next, nobody can afford to relax.
