PASMAG’s Tuning365 Tour Returns to Road Atlanta for Formula DRIFT Atlanta
PASMAG’s Tuning365 Car Show returned to Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta as part of Formula DRIFT Atlanta, marking the second stop of the 6th Annual PASMAG’s Tuning365 Tour. Returning to Road Atlanta for the fourth time since 2021, the showcase once again brought together enthusiasts from across the Southeast for a weekend packed with drifting, community, and some of the region’s most impressive custom builds.
With more than 50 vehicles featured throughout the showcase area, the event highlighted everything from meticulously restored classics and purpose-built drift cars to modern imports, VIP builds, and track-inspired street machines. The paddock stayed busy all weekend around Formula DRIFT’s high-energy competition, while GRIDLIFE’s presence at the facility added even more momentum to an already packed weekend of motorsports and automotive culture.
Together, the events created one of the strongest Tuning365 showcases the tour has seen at Road Atlanta.
