A new addition to the roster of sponsors involved with Drifting appeared quietly over the Round 6 weekend in Sonoma. Daijiro Yoshihara was sporting some Verizon Wireless decals on the GTO. Possibly we can see a cell phone battle going on in the Formula D series as the sport is quite a target demographic to the cell phone companies. They can also see it as a great chance to get involved with American motorsports since NASCAR has managed to ban/sue everyone else out of the sport through Sprint/Nextel. According to Dai’s blog his sponsorship with Verizon carries through to Irwindale and the Redbull World Challenge. Very cool and congrats Dai!
