PROJECT
A special night happened for D1NZ and motorsport in 2024 with Christchurch City Council announcing the world's first competition drift car that will be completely hydrogen-powered.
​
D1NZ partnering with Fabrum and alongside our long-time series sponsor Link ECU the wheels are in motion for the Toyota A90 Supra.
Development on engine and safety is well underway with the chosen engine a 6Port B58 Toyota engine.
The car is currently at Link ECU Headquarters with the goal of debut in 2025 at D1NZ with a global special guest driver.
Stay tuned for more on this exciting project that will be revealed soon.

CASE STUDIES - THE GLOBAL RACE
Race for the Planet – NZ at the Forefront of Motorsport Innovation:
​
There is a global movement underway, driven by the FIA and Extreme E, which are transitioning into a hydrogen-powered series, Formula H could be a thing of the future and Extreme H will launch in 2025, respectively. These series are part of a larger “Race for the Planet” initiative, aiming to revolutionize motorsport sustainability. However, there’s a critical gap in the market: while these elite competitions make headlines, there is currently no turnkey hydrogen solution for the thousands of other motorsport series across the globe.
​
New Zealand now stands at the cusp of leading this innovation. We can position ourselves as pioneers in global technology delivery by developing and delivering hydrogen solutions tailored to a broader spectrum of motorsport disciplines. This is our chance to be at the forefront of a new era of motorsport sustainability.
