The Forsyth Barr Stadium will host the National Drifting Championship in December. Photo: FileThe roof will be raised on Dunedin's Forsyth Barr Stadium over December 2-3 when the multi-purpose venue comes alive with the sound of screaming tyres and roaring race cars. In a Southern Hemisphere first; drifting, motocross, and rallying will all take place under the roof of Forsyth Barr Stadium for the opening round of the D1NZ series. A track surface will be carefully laid atop the multimillion dollar rugby pitch so the drivers and riders can wreak havoc in front of a packed house. We're looking forward to packing out the Forsyth Barr and getting a few more thousand in there.
