The NZ Drift Series returned recently to the Manawatu-based circuit of Manfeild, and brought with it a whole host of New Zealand’s top sliders. After a successful opening dig, round two of the five-round series heads to the home of New Zealand drifting – South Auckland’s Pukekohe Park Raceway. Mark Sunday July 12 in your calendars now, as the Cocaine Energy Drink NZ Drift Series, in association with NAC Insurance, hits the tarmac at over 200kph. Spectator entry is $20 with the gates opening at 10.00am. For further information, or for competitor profiles, head on over to www.nzdrift.co.nz. Or, turn up on the day to see whether Gaz Whiter can extend his lead, or whether hometown hero, and twice-defending NZ Drift Series champion, Carl Ruiterman, can claw his way back to the top of the game.
