Red Bull Drift Shifters is a motorsport event that has today transformed the streets of Auckland City into a giant pinball inspired drift track.
The brain child of Mad Mike Whiddett, Drift Shifters will bring together top international drift drivers from around the world, to battle it out with New Zealand's finest motorsport talent.
The new course is totally automated with drivers scoring points from speed and proximity to obstacles, unlocking bonus points and creating new high scores, all happening in real time and displayed on giant live screens, just like a real pinball game.
The action starts from 11am when 16 drivers compete in a bid to clock the highest scores and move through the competition to reach the finals.
