Season 2023 marked a change for Gatebil Festivals, as the new Scandinavian Drift Series replaced Gatebil Drift Series and Swedish Drift Series, and became more prestigious by gathering not only drivers from one country but combining drivers from all over Scandinavia in one drift series. Also, we saw some exciting wildcards from other regions of the world.
