2023 Formula Drift season

The 2023 Formula Drift season (officially titled and stylized as the Formula DRIFT PRO Championship) was the twentieth season of the Formula D series. The season began on April 8 at Long Beach and concluded on October 14 at Irwindale Speedway after eight events.

To coincide with its twentieth anniversary celebrations, the series announced a number of additions to be made throughout the year. These include the inauguration of a Formula Drift Hall of Fame, the unveiling of a monument to the series in downtown Long Beach, increased prize money for event winners and the series champion, and the launch of an officially sanctioned podcast.

Chelsea DeNofa won the drivers' championship with three round wins; he was the only driver to score multiple victories during the season. Ahead of the Title Fight weekend at Irwindale Speedway, DeNofa make a shock announcement via his Instagram page that he intended to step back from Formula Drift for the foreseeable future. He mentioned that he had made the decision earlier in the season and wanted to make the announcement early in order to enjoy his final weekend regardless of the championship outcome. He plans to continue with other drifting projects. Longtime judge Ryan Lanteigne also announced his retirement ahead of the final weekend.
