D1NZ NATIONAL DRIFTING CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND 1 BAYPARK STADIUM, MOUNT MAUNGANUI

Kicking off the new season with a bang, the D1NZ National Drifting Championship will host its opening round at ASB Baypark Stadium in Mount Maunganui with the Summer Smoke Out. Promising a packed grid in both the Pro-Sport and Pro classes, the 2019 season will see the country’s best drifters battling it out! Set inside Baypark Stadium for round one, drivers will slide along the concrete walls and blow tyres away in masses, showcasing just how far the sport has come in New Zealand. Tickets are best bought online, with better prices than gate entry, and there is a limited run of early bird weekend passes — head to nzxms.co.nz to purchase and for further details.
