This post is a for a summer event the LOC should know about - apologies in advance to mods if it is the wrong section

Few of you may have seen info on the GT battle event @ Rockingham on June 25th

[url="http://www.gtbattle.com"]http://www.gtbattle.com[/url]

The site is still under constuction and more info will be up in the next week -

TOTB champion Rocket Ronnie has confirmed that he will compete in the Time attack

SUMOPOWER will enter their EVO8 time attack car and 350Z Drift car

The top Drift drivers from the Uk and Eire will compete in a Twin Drift Battle

[url="http://www.rockingham.co.uk"]http://www.rockingham.co.uk[/url]

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 a Show'nShine comp, RC drifting , 4x4 off roading and Skate and BMX displays

It would be great if we could arrange a FREE club stand to show off your cars ? We will offer discounted tickets to LOC members

i will be sure to keep you guys posted on any news and im gona ask for your help in spreading the word about this event

cheers Lex

He actually competes in D1 in his daily Driver

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

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. "
