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…
After last months NZHondas meet was cancelled due to bad weather, the wait for August’s was growing bigger. With Sylvia Park set as the meeting place, the club was hoping to redeem itself after the first Sylvia Park meet. \r\n With the help of ‘Sarge’, some Wongs chicken and great organising they pulled it off….
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…

Seen as we love drifting, we figured we’d start our two part Speedshow post with some drifting! \r\n The D1NZ drift demo was held on the concrete pad with huge crowds watching. \r\n Seeing a big pad and a huge grandstand, this photo reminds me a lot of Formula D in USA… \r\n \r\n There’s a reason…
Stag do’s are a common practice in NZ. But not everyone hosts theirs at a racetrack. Elton held his last weekend at Hampton Downs, just south of Auckland. The skid pan was lined up with many different cars, all ready to drift.\r\n\r\nI was told I could pop down to take some photos and figured why…
When in comes to drift track days, the Garage H team put on a pretty damn good day. With cars from all over the north island, you get to see a diverse range of cars. \r\n With this day being the first reverse drift day, I was really keen to see how the drivers would…
