2026 Championship – R3 Pukekohe Park Raceway

D1NZ – Pukekohe Park - The Last Drift

The Last Drift. The Last Motorsport Event. Ever.

 

For more than 22 years, D1NZ has taken fans on a thrilling journey – from grassroots beginnings, to becoming New Zealand’s Premier Drifting Championship. Across stadiums, circuits, and city streets, we’ve pushed the limits, built legends, and delivered heart-pounding motorsport to fans nationwide.

Now, for one weekend only, that journey meets history – as we return to Pukekohe Park Raceway for the final time. This iconic venue has hosted legends for over 62 years, and now it will roar once more with the world’s fastest drifting corner and the fiercest battles of the season.

This is more than just an event. It’s a farewell. It’s a celebration. It’s history in the making.
