Blockchain Sports Drift — Grodno
We shut down the city center and turned it into a race track.
Our American partners came to watch — and left saying it's the safest, friendliest country they've ever been to. Their words: "best country I've ever been in my life." One of them wants to drive next time.
Thousands of people in the stands. Professional drift cars sliding through city streets. Kids on the RC track. Mechanics in the pits. Full-scale motorsport event in the middle of a Belarusian city.
This is what Blockchain Sports Drift events look like on the ground!
Blockchain Sports Drift — one year later
One year ago, an AI drift car was just an idea. Today, it's real — and it drives itself. Here's what we've built so far.
The car drives itself
Our prototype drives completely on its own. No driver. No remote control. The AI reads the car's position, speed, and angle 30 times every second — and acts on it. It doesn't just react. It acts.
The AI keeps learning
Instead of following the same instructions every time, the system learns through reinforcement learning. It practices thousands of times, learns from every run, and keeps getting better.
Always knows where it is
The car combines information from several sensors into one accurate picture of where it is on the track. Even while sliding sideways, it always knows its position.
Safety comes first
The car has six independent hardware safety systems. They don't rely on software or a radio connection. If something goes wrong, the car stops automatically. We've already demonstrated this during live events with no safety driver inside.
Building a unique dataset
We're collecting biometric data from professional drivers using our own specialized racing suit. Combined with everything the car records while driving, we're building a unique dataset for autonomous motorsport.
Visitors from around the world
Over the past year, dozens of guests from the United States, Japan, and across Europe visited our facility. They saw the technology, tested the car, and experienced our professional drift cars firsthand. The reaction was the same every time — disbelief, then excitement.
What’s next
We’re building the foundation for a new kind of motorsport.
First, we’ll prove what our own AI can do. Then we’ll open our core technology to the world’s leading tech companies — so they can build their own AI-powered drift cars and compete.
The destination?
A world championship in the United States — where AI cars backed by the world’s biggest tech companies compete against the best human drift drivers. All powered by our core technology.
This is only year one!
As part of our commitment to inspiring the next generation of STEM leaders through motorsport, we delivered an immersive day of hands-on learning at Silverstone this weekend, in collaboration with our partners
