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

Winning pic from latest Sugo D1 round:

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

He actually competes in D1 in his daily Driver

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. "
