 This weekend brings some of the best drifters in the Southern Hemisphere together for the first time, with team Australia flying in today ahead of the big event.

 Round five of the New Zealand Pro-Championship also heats up with the top five 'Drift King' title contenders separated by just 25 points, with only 3 points separating third to fifth.  Daynom Templeman in his 1200hp E46 BMW currently leads the series standings after competing at the Waikato's Hampton Downs circuit. His closest rival is the young Nico Reid from Otara in his Nissan Silvia S15, having topped the podium three times in a row this season and shows no sign of slowing down.

Catch up on The D1NZ season!
