Where to start! It is still very surreal and will take some time to sink in, but it’s a humbling feeling to be one of the few New Zealand Drift Kings of D1NZ.
The talent pool of drivers in this country is unreal and coming into the Final at our home round at Baypark Statium Connor Halligan was a shoe-in for the Championship title. But when he rolled his car in spectacularly scary fashion in the Top 16 I knew it was all down to me to bring it home. I had a very difficult battle tree ahead of me but I really wasn’t thinking about the Championship implications, just enjoying the battles and taking them one step at a time, I really was just having a fun time which is the whole reason we pour everything into our sport.
From my top 8 Battle with Scotty D on I was suffering an engine misfire which was frustrating, but I tried to stay calm and we did what we could to mitigate that. I somehow managed to push through to the Finals and that is where the magic happened!!
Team DSR has been dreaming of an Adam vs. Dave Final showdown and what better time and place!! We threw down hard and put on as best of a show as we could, Adam ultimately taking the round win, and my 2nd place finish securing the Championship.
It really was a fairytale ending for us and I am so incredibly grateful to be able to share that moment with our families, friends and amazing crew!

We made it, all the hard work and hustle finally paid off. A huge thank you to all of my sponsors, Layedout, JT Performance, Carters Tyres Pukekohe, Sunset Spaces, Repco, DSM Fab, Ideal Truck Services, KCL Photography and Trailer Pro.
And to the entire D1NZ crew, organisers, and everyone involved in putting together such an incredible season.
We came out strong with a round win in Invercargill and from that moment, we knew we wanted the championship. We gave this season everything we had, pushing hard and finding a way to make it happen.
A massive thanks to the Myles Motorsport team and my family for backing me all the way, even when things were tight. This really is a team sport and I wouldn’t be here without that support.
Now we’re looking ahead we are planning to put on some semi’s and take on the pro season. If anyone’s keen to get involved and come along for the ride, we’d love to hear from you. The goal is simple, go back to back and bring home another championship.
