He’ll pilot his Ford NZ Century Batteries Mustang while Jaron Olivecrona will be in action with his new Parts Trader NZ Hartley Engines-built twin-turbocharged V12 Nissan Silvia S14.

Mimico driver Adam Davies is all set to go in a new 20B-powered Nissan 180SX while last season’s Pro-Sport champion Michael Thorley is moving up to the Pro class in a new Enzed-backed 180SX. Aussie Jake Jones is also on the entry list, adding some international flavour to a field of around 20 top drifters.

It’s the first time top-flight drifting has come to Teretonga Park and fans can look forward to an absolute feast of burnouts and mega drifts as the top drivers get their clipping points millimetre correct in their quest for points and victory in New Zealand’s top domestic drifting championship.

The D1NZ National Drifting Championship will also be running as part of the country’s top motorsport series for the first time with the international Castrol Toyota Racing Series, the Best Bars Toyota 86 Championship, South Island and National F1600, Porsches and historic touring cars all on a packed card that will see action right through until the drifting finals on Saturday evening.

“We have heard fantastic things about how avid and enthusiast motorsport and drifting fans are down in the South,” he said.

“It’s going to be a real privilege to show the series to the fans in Invercargill for the first time and showcase professional drifting. It’s got to be seen to be believed so we are looking forward to seeing many of them rock up to the track for the action.

“There’s a strong field of NZ’s pro drifters with many cars sporting new liveries and sponsorship. It’s all going live on Sky Sports Channel 55 on Saturday evening and it’s got to be one not to miss with the biggest prize pool ever on offer for the 2020 season.”
