Drifting at approx. 90MPH, 42 of Europe’s top drivers did their best to impress Japanese D1 Driver Nomura Ken at D1 Great Britain Round 1: Rockingham. Included in the 42 was Fifth Gear host Tiff Needell (piloting a 590BHP Toyota Soarer), who despite not qualifying for the main event, did well for his first appearance. In the end, UK driver Brett Castle took first. Look for coverage of the event on UK Channel 5’s ‘Fifth Gear’ the weekend of June 3rd and further coverage on DriftLive.com
