History
    
With the large growth and interest in drifting, IDCR identified a need for more a standardized event format in the sport. Therefore, IDCR changed the sport of drifting by announcing its divisional points race system. This was done through a schedule of several events in eight divisions across the world with two regional races culminating in a national championship race.
Each divisional series consists of two qualifying events, and four races with several drivers per event. The drivers for the divisional races will be selected in the two qualifying events. The top eight drivers from each division move on to a regional event of several drivers to get the top 8 drivers in each region. Those drivers then move to a national event where the top 10 drivers from around the world will go through elimination rounds to crown the champion for the year.
