The facilities @ Rockingham are amazing - most important a Massive covered grandstand for all spectators and unlike the Pod if it rains the action will still run

Tha main events are Time attack, Drift Battle and a RWYB 0-60 Traffic Light Grand Prix

there will also be RC drifting , 4x4 off roading and Skate and BMX displays

Im sure that there are many cars on here that would be competetive in the time attack and 0-60 challenge???

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. "
