My EFVD handles event entry and any later License offer. - 01 Apply to join EFVD Share your driver details once in #driver-application. - 02 Complete your application New drivers provide identity, setup, drift experience, three short written answers and Steam.

If accepted, you can request Wild Card events; we may also offer a limited License separately. - 04 Follow My EFVD Enter individual events when available. If you receive a private License offer, review all three dates and the $40 CAD fee before accepting. Declining leaves your Wild Card eligibility unchanged.

Accepted You may request individual rounds as a Wild Card without applying again. This does not reserve an event place. Unpaid position released If an accepted Season Pass is not paid by its deadline, staff may release the season position. You remain approved to request individual rounds as a Wild Card. On hold Staff needs to speak with you before granting any new access. Rejected EFVD participation was not approved. No new driver role or event access is granted.
