Young drifter Obell moves up to Pro 1 class for 2026 season

Indonesian drifter Rofbell Ardante Sahroni, known as Obell, has advanced to the Pro 1 class after winning the 2025 national Pro 2 title.

Obell received the IMI Awards as 2025 National Drift Champion in Pro 2 class from Ikatan Motor Indonesia. He noted new challenges after moving up to the more competitive Pro 1 class.

"There is still much to improve, both technically, in consistency, and in competitive mentality," Obell said, as quoted by VIVA Otomotif on 1 July 2026.

The ASC Monster Drift team has prepared a special program for the National Championship and international events held in Indonesia. Obell is scheduled to appear at IDS Bali soon as preparation for the current season.
