Yup, D1 is now in the UK too. In the field of Nissans, more Nissans, Toyota, and more Nissans, there are 2 BMW E36s (1 of which is a touring!) and 1 E30.Oh, Tiff Needel is also competing in a 590bhp Toyota Soarer too. Did anyone see him drift the mid-engined Porsche Boxter in one of the 5th gear episodes??? Superb car control !!!!From the D1GB website (www.d1gb.co.uk) :"TV's 5th Gear & Tiff Needell to compete in Round 1 !Channel 5's '5th Gear ' is set to join the D1GB this Sunday at Rockingham with presenter and former F1 driver Tiff Needell taking to the wheel alongside the 36 current D1GB drivers. Driving a 590bhp Toyota Soarer, Tiff will enter the competition as a provisional Licence holder and will be aiming to finish in the Top 16 to gain his full D1GB Licence. This feature and the event is to be filmed by 5th Gear on the day and will be broadcast on Channel 5 in the summer. A regular to side-ways power sliding and a previous contributor to the UK Drift scene, Tiff will be taking notes and guidance from one of D1GB's top drivers, Julian Smith in order to get to grips with the most powerful car on the grid and to get first hand experience of what being a D1GB driver is all about."
