Who are your biggest supporters?

Mum & Dad! Mums really into it, her first drift event she went too, i thought it was quite bizarre that she got so hooked on it! I think she likes to see me compete at a National level. i always try and do for them to try and even it out but they just say ‘make us proud!’ im just like ‘solid’ but they definitely help the most, if your ever stuck they always back you up.

Who are your sponsors?

What is the best part of your drifting career?

Probably the people, the people you meet are real good as fellas. and the wait before you battle.

When your on the grid what do you do to psych yourself out? What are you thinking in that moment?

Pretty much try and nick his door, make sure you initiate close, as soon as your not close at the start your never going to catch him, whilst shaking nervously.

Whats your dreams and goals and when it comes your drifting career? What do you potentially want to get too?

MADMIKE! Compete for New Zealand overseas!

What kind of things do you have to get, to get where you want to be?

Money, Sponsors, need to know how to work social media, being able to perform! Be that guy that everyone else wants to be!

What would you say to anyone that wants to get into drifting?

Don’t build the most rediculous car from the start! make sure you get the seat time and sl.owly build it, get to a stage and then drive it and then build it from there to the next point then drive it again, don’t spend all your money trying to buld the best drift car you can, make sure your seat time comes before your shed time.

Scariest moment drifting?

When I had the wing on drifting around Pukekohe, under-steering! Should of listened to Fanga, Fanga was telling me weeks before "dont even bother running a wing!" but it looked so cool! Gave it about half the day before i gave up on it.
