Pirtek Slides in as AW Drift Gold Sponsor

We’re thrilled to announce that Pirtek is stepping up as the Gold Sponsor of AW Drift for the 2025 season!

This exciting partnership comes at a pivotal moment for driver Adam Whitehead, who will be making his debut in the Top Tier D1NZ Pro Championship—a major move up from the Pro-Sport category, where he’s made a name for himself over the past few seasons.

AW Drift's 2025 season promises high-speed, sideways action across some of New Zealand’s most iconic motorsport venues. 

• Event 1: Dec 6–7, 2024 – Mad Mike Summer Bash, Hampton Downs
• Event 2: Jan 31 – Feb 2, 2025 – D1NZ Rounds 1 & 2, Taupo Motorsport Park
• Event 3: Mar 7–8, 2025 – D1NZ Round 3, Mt. Smart Stadium
• Event 4: Apr 11–12, 2025 – D1NZ Round 4, Manfeild

• Event 6: Apr 25–26, 2025 – D1NZ Round 5, Mercury Baypark, Tauranga

As Adam takes on the country’s top drivers in the premier league of drifting, Pirtek is proud to back his journey from the garage to the podium. Let’s go, AW Drift!
