Winter Jam Schedule

Saturday, December 7 - Sunday, December 8, 2024
Winter Jam, Northern California's biggest drifting event, returns on December 7-8, 2024! This thrilling event will take over various locations around Sonoma Raceway, including courses in the main paddock, Turns 2-4, Turn 7, the Esses at Turn 8, and the hairpin at Turn 11 of the road course. With courses for every skill level, it's the perfect opportunity for beginners to gain experience and for professionals to unleash the full power of their 1000hp machines!

Don't miss the return of the Pro-Am Competition at Sonoma Raceway on the Winter Jam Course at Turn 7! Our Pro Spec Shootout is back, featuring 40 drivers battling for a Formula Drift Pro Spec license. Please note, due to the timing of this event, there is no guarantee the license can be used in 2024. The competition follows tech guidelines, with a maximum tire size of 265 and a tread wear of 300.

Come out and support your favorite local drivers as they compete in front of Formula Drift judges and our US Drift partners.

Please remember that an SA2015 helmet and neck brace are required on all tracks. For tracks on the road course, including Turn 7, Flying 8, Turn 11, and Summer Jam, an SFI-1 firesuit is also mandatory. Make sure you bring these items with you to the tech inspection.

*Drift Entries are currently sold out. Winter Jam Pro Spec Shootout entries are still available.
