After hearing Keisuke and Tarran were running another day, I had to go check it out. As you may know, Keisuke and Tarran put on the ‘Day of 86’ down in Taupo back in August. The day’s are so relaxed and smooth with nice cars and cool people. \r\n \r\n As you can see, the…
With the big awaited arrival of Nico’s new car, we were obviously eager to check it out. The new car being an S15, it’s a big step up from the older S13, with a more powerful engine and a better overall setup. It’s something that is really suited to the pro league. \r\n Here’s our…

A few weeks back I was out at the Garage H drift day at Hampton Downs. As I was cruising around the car park, I noticed an AE85 sitting perfectly. After having a chat with Tony – the owner – I decided to do an ‘on the spot feature’ of the car. \r\n \r\n As you can…
After attending Picket’s 21st, I had no second thought about returning for his next day. The cars that show up, the atmosphere, the laid back feel – the day’s great. I gradually woke up after a whiskey fuelled night and headed down to the track, slightly under the weather. Luckily the smell of burning petrol…
Taupo Motorsport Park played host to the latest Juiced Drift Day on the 21st of August. The event was perfect for beginners to try their hand at drifting without the pressure of judges watching their every move. \r\n \r\n Out and giving the rear tyres hell all day was this R33 Skyline. With its unique…
Another Garage H Advance day has arrived. Garage H days always have some great cars, great drivers and a cool vibe. With the day based at Hampton Downs, the full track was out with the track reversed in the afternoon for experienced drivers. \r\n \r\n Arriving at the day I met up with good buddy ol’…
Something I always look forward to is the Hori Dori Drift Day. Filled with young, amateur drivers, it’s neat to see them out in action giving Meremere a shot in their car. Grassroots days like this have taken off in NZ recently with more and more happening. We love it. \r\n At Hori Dori you see many…
Somehow I was told about Day of the 86 through the grapevine and didn’t have to decide if I was keen or not. 86’s are one of my favourite Japanese cars and seeing 20+ of them drifting? That’s something you just don’t see in NZ. \r\n We start early at Freshly; 5am drive from Auckland…
Drift Motorsport NZ is a New Zealand practice drift day held all over the North Island. This time round Taupo turned on a perfect winters day which made for a great day of drifting! \r\n \r\n For such a large car, the Nissan Laurel is an amazing drift car. There is something special about seeing…
