D1NZ 2016/2017 Round 1 Dunedin
With the drifting season starting back up here in New Zealand, everyone was anxiously waiting to hear the announcement of the first round’s location.
Indoors is not the first thing that springs to mind when you think of drifting, but I think that is exactly why the people who come up with ingenious ideas within D1NZ put forward Forsyth Barr Stadium. A large rugby pitch transformed into a mini drift circuit sounds like heaven for outsiders and that is exactly what it was. Shooting for the first time in such a unique location made for some amazing memories and beautiful reflections as we saw the cars push through tight corners under stadium lights and thick smoke. Large fans were used to keep most of the smoke away from the main circuit however the little that drifted through coupled with the sunset streaming through the stadium made for some different views of such a loud and aggressive sport.
