Tauranga gets 'Tuerck'd' by one of the biggest in the sport

Round one of the 2015–’16 Demon Energy D1NZ National Drifting Championship saw the class debut their new wildcard Toyotaz Galore GT86, with a violent 2JZ power plant under its shapely hood. 

And who better to debut the car than American Formula Drift star Ryan Tuerck. To those who live and breathe through social media, Tuerck is a legend thanks to his self-made chain of YouTube videos on his own channel, and on the Network A channel. The drifter enjoyed his time in Godzone so much that he's already chucked up a supercut of the sights and sounds of his trip, as well as several clips of the GT86. This is definitely one to turn up loud!
