Fans enjoy the action as two exponents of drifting display their skill at Pukekohe Park Raceway yesterday in round three of the national championships.

Drifting is not just a matter of sliding your car around corners. Performances are judged on speed, the angle of the car, the line it takes through the corners and the distance between the vehicles as they race in pairs.
