The annual CRC Speedshow is New Zealand’s premier automotive event. Showcasing all types of cars, motorbikes and associated products. It has grown each year and this year saw huge crowd numbers.
New Zealand’s newest race track, Hampton Downs, located just south of Auckland played host to a grassroots drift day last weekend. This new facility has been used a lot for drifting recently, as it has a large concrete skid pad and also a full race track…
The 2011/12 D1NZ season is only a few months away so Drifted.com decided to catch up with Hugo Maclean to see how his car was progressing during the off-season. Hugo campaigned his low and loud AE85 Corolla in the 2010/11 season with very pleasing results for his first competition series.
Team S Club are a group of friends (mainly with old Toyotas!) that run regular grassroots days on the run-off of our local dragstrip here in New Zealand. Meremere Dragway has a large run-off/breaking area that is perfect for days like this.
Joel and Adam of C’s Garage had their Corolla wagon out at Meremere Dragway on Saturday. This was the first time I had seen this car in person, it looks so fun to drive!
Picking up from where I left you in part one, I was back at Hampton Downs Raceway for the business end of the Rockstar Energy D1NZNational Drifting Championship Grand Final.
My alarm sounded at 6am and after hitting snooze numerous times I finally built up the energy to get out of bed. I gathered my camera and various other bits and pieces and made my way south. My destination? Hampton Downs Raceway for the Grand Final of the Rockstar Energy D1NZ National Drifting Championship.
Day one of the Rockstar Energy D1NZ National Drifting Championship Grand Final tore up Hampton Downs Raceway today, located just south of Auckland….
Hamilton, located in the North Island of NZ, played host to one of our largest automotive events over the weekend. The V8 Supercars ITM400. The street race takes place over 3 days and draws a huge number of spectators each year. This year, the organizers invited 9 of NZ’s top drifters to do demonstrations throughout the weekend.
I organized a cruise over the weekend for a couple of local car forums I am on and a wide variety of cars showed up. One of my favorites was Nigel’s JZX100 Chaser. I have a huge soft spot for luxurious 4-door cars that can get up and boogie when they need to.
Hello Drifted! My name is Roo Wills and I am writing this from a little corner of the world known as New Zealand. It feels strange writing an introduction about yourself and where you’re from, so bear with me.
