James Deane

James Deane is a legendary Irish drifter and the first in Formula Drift history to secure four PRO Championship titles (2017, 2018, 2019, and 2024).

Before his US resurgence, he conquered Europe winning titles like DriftNeu North Cyprus, the Goodwood Driftkhana, LZ Festival at Mondello Park, and multiple Drift Masters championships.

He is the first and only driver in history to hold three professional drift championship titles across three different continents simultaneously in North America, Europe and the Middle East.
