We are pleased to announce that we have secured the first Japanese professional Drift driver to join the Japaneseusedcars.com Championship and make history as the first Championship in Europe to do so.World famous and D1GP 2006 Champion Nobushige Kumakubo has confirmed he will contest the Championship this year using his 430bhp RWD Subaru Impreza STI (GDB model).
Kumakubo is famed for his amazing high speed car control and particularly his talent in twin drift battles where his brave yet precise driving techniques are nothing short of inspiring. As a top star of Japanese D1 events as well as events in the USA, along with various appearances at shows in Europe under his belt in more recent times - his entry into Japaneseusedcars.com European Drift Championship marks an important chapter in Drifting history.
