Thumbs up Dai Yoshihara's 2014 Drift car will be a BRZ

It hasn't been confirmed yet, but it's on Team Falken's facebook page. Seems like they are working on the project and getting it ready for next season.

It's still in it's infant state.

Sweet, look like he is following Yoshioka's footsteps by doing a BRZ instead an FRS/GT86 like the rest of the world.

Update: So it looks like he got a personal BRZ vehicle, and then his actual drift car would still be that white BRZ.

Yeah, I was on his live chat and he pretty much confirmed that he's driving a BRZ next season. Nothing has been said what exactly what they'll do.

He'll probably go with an LS setup. The team has been using a v8 platform for years and his car is one of the most competitive, reliable cars on the grid. They'll be able to carry everything they've learned into the new chassis.

...even if I would rather see them use a turbo 4 or 6
