At just 13 years old, Jannah Isabella Celestine Krabbe Cañete, known in the motorsport world as BabyDrift, is poised for a powerful comeback. This year, Bella will once again proudly represent the Philippines as she competes with the Akuma Drift Team, one of the rising forces in Asian drifting, based in Indonesia.
Bella made her international debut in 2024 at the Women’s Drift Challenge (WDC) in Jakarta, Indonesia.
During that season, she became the champion of WDC Amateur Round 5 and 1st runner-up in Round 6, both held in May 2024, achieving the best qualifying runs in both rounds.
However, her journey wasn’t without its challenges.
After moving up to the pro-amateur category, she suffered a crash during practice. Just two weeks later, another crash during the official practice session forced her to take a five-month break from the sport.
Now, stronger and more determined than ever, Bella is set to return to the track.
With Akuma Drift Team, she will pilot the Yakult-themed drift car, a machine that mirrors her bold driving style and fresh energy. Her mindset is unwavering: every setback is a stepping stone, a setup for success, and a powerful reminder of her resilience.
“I’m proud and excited to represent the Philippines again and to drive for the Akuma Drift Team,” Bella says. “The crashes taught me a lot, and now I’m ready to show how much I’ve grown.”
Supported by her family, friends, the Akuma Drift Team, and her growing fanbase, Bella’s 2025 season isn’t just about returning: it’s about making a statement.

Bella’s 2025 campaign will kick off at Round 1 of the Indonesian Drift Series (IDS), set for May 3–4, 2025, at the J99 Maxx Drift Circuit in Indonesia.
The future of Philippine drifting is bright — and it’s wearing #828!
