“Sceriffo is an incredible talent behind the wheel who is passionate about inspiring the next generation of enthusiasts as a professional Drifting instructor,” said Chad Schnitz, Vice President of TOPDON USA. “He’s a proven champion whose talent and successes around the world is a natural extension of the TOPDON brand. We look forward to watching him compete in the 2024 U.S. Formula Drift courses piloting the only turbo charged V12 Ferrari in the series and in the world.”

FFF Drifting Department was established in 2016 as the drifting team for FFF Racing Group as a consequence of its success in GT racing, which has a rich motorsport history in F1 and D1GP series. FFF Drifting Department’s headquarters are in Varano De'Melegari, Italy, the Heart of the MotorValley, as well as in Atlanta, Georgia. The team's staff have 20-plus years of motorsport experience primarily in racing leagues around the world.
“I’m very excited to welcome TOPDON to the FFF Drifting Department family,” said Sceriffo. “Drifting is a highly technical racing style and incredibly demanding on our race cars. It’s important that ‘Fiorella’ runs with optimum performance, and TOPDON’s diagnostic tools help our crew make that possible. I’m excited about this year’s Formula Drift series and carrying the TOPDON name to the podium.”
Sceriffo started his drifting career in Italy in 2004 when he took second place behind the wheel of a Subaru Impreza STI. A year later, he won a first place podium finish in the Solo Curve di Traverso, the Super Drift Professional Challenge. By 2006, he was competing on the international racing circuit in Cyprus, Russia, China and France.
