About Daniel Woolhouse

Born 1983. Daniel Woolhouse is a New Zealand racing driver.

Daniel Woolhouse, also known as "Fanga Dan", is a four-time D1NZ Champion and professional drifting driver from Whangārei, New Zealand.

Competing with the iconic Driftcorp team, Woolhouse began drifting competitively in 2003, entering his first full season in 2005 driving a Nissan Laurel C33 in the D1NZ National Drifting Championship and finishing third overall in his rookie year. Moving to a purpose-built Nissan S15 Silvia, he would go on to win the 2006 D1NZ Championship in just his second year of competition, also becoming the third Driftcorp driver to win a national title. He competed overseas again in 2011 and 2012, driving for Castrol Edge in the Tectaloy International Drift Challenge as part of the annual World Time Attack event in Sydney, Australia.

After retiring his championship winning Nissan S15 in 2010, now driven by Driftcorp team-mate Robee Nelson, Woolhouse went on to compete an LS2 V8-powered Holden VZ Commodore in the 2013 D1NZ Championship Series for his naming rights sponsor, Castrol Edge, in which he became the 2013 New Zealand drift champion.
