Ryusei Akiba is coming to New Zealand! • D1NZ Drift Series 2025
We’re stoked to confirm that Japan’s Ryusei Akiba is heading to New Zealand to compete in the D1NZ Grand Final at Baypark Stadium, April 25th-26th with the Halligan Drift Team!

Is this the first ever TIE in Drift Competition?
Round 2 of the 2025 D1NZ Series saw the first ever draw in drift competition, at least in New Zealand, maybe in the world?
The result was a hilarious move of sportsmanship, with the 3rd place trophy being cut in half with an angle grinder in pitlane..
