  • D1 08' info ruckus

    sorry im horrible at thread titles...

    anyways, there are some things that i have just noticed today after messing with google translator and google in general while searching the d1 site:

    -hideo hiroaka is driving an orange GDB so im guessing he's now on team orange

    -some dude by the name of Masayoshi Tokita qualified 4th out of the non seeded drivers during qualifying day in a grs180 which is pretty sweet cus its a car like this:
    <a href="http://s35.photobucket.com/albums/d157/WoodsonJ99/?action=view&current=grs180.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d157/WoodsonJ99/grs180.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

    -lastly there is a man on the list with the translated name Nishida RABI which im pretty sure the robbie nishida that drove the falken tire s14 in formula d 2007 but is now driving a hankook 350z. this i find pretty neat because he qualified 15th meaning he'll be in main competition tomorrow. so its pretty sweet that he's doing d1 and doing pretty good and also doing it in a mark II chaser. nice! (if this isnt THAT robbie nishida, then still nice but also weird...)

    That car in the picture is the new Toyota Crown... pretty big car, but very stylie and would be awesome to watch. I can't confirm if it is indeed Robbie Nishida but if it is I hope he kicks all kinds of butts. Thanks for the update.

        Masayoshi Tokita is the guy who used to drive the old school Soarer.

        Is Youichi Imamura driving? Cause I couldn't see a Z33 listed.

          That is because he is in a S15.

            just wanted to add that Nobuteru Taniguchi will be returning to d1 at next months round at fuji speedway driving the HKS Altezza. he announced his return to D1 on his blog. should be exciting to watch him compete again.
