Career

He began drifting in 2010. He signed a contract in 2011 with the Budmat Auto RB Team, which later became Budmat Auto Drift Team. He is associated with yellow Nissans - mainly models 200SX and Skyline R34. He competed for three titles of European drifting league champion Drift Masters Grand Prix - in 2014, 2015 and 2016.[2]

He became a member of the Worthouse Drift Team in 2017. Together with their teammate James Deane, they began racing in Formula D (FD), considered to be the best drifting league in the world. Events take place in the United States.[3]

Piotr Więcek finished the 2017 season in Formula D as rookie of the Year 2017 and as one of only three drivers in the history of FD who won a single round in the first season of starts.[3]

In 2020, due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, the Worthouse drift team withdrew from competition. In the same statement, it was announced that James Deane would no longer be competing with Worthouse.
