FRESHLY WHIPPED @ CASTROL EDGE D1NZ NATIONAL DRIFTING CHAMPIONSHIP - ROUND 2 - DAY 1 - PUKEKOHE

It seemed like only a week ago we were posting up the first round of the Castrol Edge D1NZ drifting championship. With Round 2 set for Pukekohe, many of the drivers were bracing themselves for the fastest drift corner in the world. 200kph+ entry means that the drivers must get a huge run up over Ford mountain and into the sweeper. With many casualties at the corner before, many drivers were just hoping not to ruin their cars, with some willing to put it all on the line for top points. 
On the first day we saw the Pro Am competition. The pro am competition allows for new drivers to get out and make their way up to the professional league.

After speculation that Nizfest may not be returning for 2011, it was great news to see that it had returned! With Nissan’s from all across the country coming to Hampton Downs, it was a great chance to see some cars that often don’t get seen much.

FRESHLY WHIPPED AT D1NZ Round 1 - Manfield Raceway

The opening D1NZ event of the year was by far one of the most fun drift events I have been involved in. With the mix or rain, rubber, and turbo’s spooling how could you not enjoy this? The events started Friday morning and guess who decided to show up…the rain! During the first couple hours of the event the drivers were still spinning off the track and into the large puddles, which was quite entertaining. After finishing up Friday there was 16 Pro Am drivers left who would be competing on Saturday for the number 1 spot! Saturday brought everyone a lovely surprise, which was accompanied by short shorts and sunscreen. Yep it brought the sun, which lead to some really exciting drifting. Mad Mike was consistent all day Friday and Saturday that helped him grab the number 2 qualifying spot. Mad Mike was then able to stay on top to finish 1st place with Andrew Redward in 2nd and Fanga Dan in 3rd place.

FRESHLY WHIPPED EXCLUSIVE: DRIFT EMPIRE’S TRACK DAY

Getting an invite along to the Drift Empire day, I happily said yes. I’ve never been to one of their days before, so I was keen to see what they had to offer. Arriving a tad late, I spotted a wide array of cars that were well built and all looking very tough. With a mix of old school Japanese cars, these guys have a great set of cars.
