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.

 

Can Tiff cut it alongside Europe's finest Drift drivers and will he succeed to gain his full licence? There is only one way to find out - get to Rockingham this weekend and see him and the rest of the boys in action.

I've driven around with him at Brunters- he was in a 5 series estate, I was in the Supra- man the angles that guy got on some of those corners- and the speed- it was the sort of speed where you either pull it off or you have a scenery changing accident. I certainly didn't have the balls to emulate him getting a car sideways at motorway speeds.

Difference is hes doing it in someone elses car and you're in your pride and joy.

 

Nope, it was his actual personal car that'd stumped forty grand on. Once we'd seen him in his own car there was no way we were giving him the keys to ours :D
