BDC meaning in Regional ?

The British Drift Championship is a drifting series held in the UK. It is the highest level of competition drifting in the UK.

The series began as a feeder series to the European Drift Championship. However, the partnership between the BDC and EDC organisers ended at the end of the season and the BDC became a professional series in its own right.

The series originally had two classes, Semi-Pro and Pro. However, due to the vast growth of the championship a third class was added for the 2011 season, called 'Super Pro' which became the highest class. The top drivers in the Pro class were merged into this new class.

For the 2015 season the championship reverted to two classes; the three classes from 2014 were merged to create the Pro-Am and Pro class. A feeder series called Drift Cup was created to allow those wishing to take part in the series the chance to prove they have what it takes to drive in the main championship.

In 2016, the series was taken over by the man behind the Irish Drift Championship, David Egan, whose vision was to improve the visibility of the sport to the general audience and also grow the level of the drivers competing within it. Following the conclusion of the 2018 season, it was announced that Egan would be stepping down from his position, to be replaced by Matt Stevenson, a current BDC Pro driver and 2014 Semi-Pro champion.
