Holy sh1t! That's pretty much setting the bar as high as it can go for the locals! He's my hero number 2 after King Koguchi. Maybe he'll set up a K-Style UK and build a little version of Ebisu in a disused quarry somewhere!!!

Holy crap! Unbelievable! Great news, he's one of my favourite drivers. Who's going to tell him you can't use motorbike helmets though?

Never mind what he'll be like at Knockhill, think about what he'll do at the Pod with walls to brush....

WALL GRIND FTW in 2008

He hasn't used moto X helmets for some time now. I think he has a deal with bell if i remember correctly. Nothing to worry about.

I wonder what car he`ll be using?

His USA car and old jap cars are for sale!! I`d guess he has a car here/nearly here or is using a UK built car as there is only a few weeks to go. Either way, can`t wait to find out!

His GDB STI Subaru Impreza is currently in Japan is being refreshed by JUN Auto along with spec modifications to make the car compliant to the strict safety regulations of the EDC including an all-new rollcage, fire system and various other technical upgrades to bring his car up to scratch and ready for action in EDC.

Thats what i thought baba, must be a different one. Also with shipping time the car would already need to be done and here or nearly here.

Either way it doesn`t matter, this year is gonna be an amazing year for drifting!!

Kumakubo
Hi,

His car is currently being worked on to make it EDC compliant in Japan and it will ship out to the UK shortly.

Kumakubo will contest Rounds 3 and 4 of EDC which is Silverstone and Santa Pod.

He busy schedule means he cannot attend all events although he would like to, he has various date clashes for his activities around the world so for 2008 we've got him for 2 of our events

Ive got more news coming Im not done yet......

Andy
