​This ANZAC Weekend, we return to our biggest stage with a festival of motorsport, show cars, live entertainment, and championship glory. From the iconic Mount Cruise to the high-speed battles inside Baypark Stadium, the 2026 finale will be one for the history books.

Starting with the Mac Civil Mount Cruise through the streets of Mt Maunganui, both fields of drift cars will be heading down to Marine Parade and parking up for a couple of hours, allowing you all to come down and get up-close and personal with the drift machines before they get stuck into competition.

Friday 24 April brings Pro and Pro-Sport practice and qualifying, with Saturday 25 April being the competition battles day.
