There must be a few more going than have registered on the calender, get your names down

Yeah, come on this will be really good I reckon. Club stand needs to be full of Supes

Plus this will prob be the first big event my cars at!! *edit( I lied, very much doubt it'll be done for this now either

Come on folks, this event is going to be great, Rockingham is a great location and the drift demos will be well worth seeing, not your everyday drifters either, the guys will be specialists.

Kuniaki Takahashi has been confirmed as the driver for Sumo Power in their brand new drift spec Z33/350Z

http://d1gp.co.uk/images/takahashi_.jpg

He actually competes in D1 in his daily Driver

http://www.sun-auto.co.jp/pv_hid_g3/chaiser.jpg

from d1gp.co.uk

"Kuniaki definitely has the most comfortable work space for a drifter, because he's got air-conditioning and a luxurious audio system in his TOYOTA CHASER and even got an electronic toll collection system -which is a kind of posh machinery to have in Japan-. Kuniaki's 4 door sedan drifting is super cool and powerfull. "
