Drifting comes to the Deep South for the first time ever with its full show!

For over 23 years, D1NZ has thrilled fans nationwide with world-class drifting – but we’ve never made it this far south with the Pro and Pro-Sport fields.

This November, the championship heads to Teretonga Park, the world’s southernmost FIA-approved motor racing circuit, and the proud home of the Southland Sports Car Club.

Expect high-rev battles, tyre smoke, and all the adrenaline-pumping action D1NZ is known for – right here in Invercargill.
