Tetsuya Hibino

Like many of the drivers in the D1 Grand Prix, he is the owner of his own tuning shop called SunRise, and works on his car himself.

He has always drove the Toyota Corolla Levin since he began and the combination of its light weight and his aggressive driving style make him a formidable opponent.

In 2007, when he advanced to the finals in the Suzuka round, he purposely swerved into Masao Suenaga's path during the start of their first run and the judges originally placed him as 2nd but he was later disqualified after the tournament finished.

In 2010, he picked up the sponsorship with UPGARAGE in collaboration with his main sponsor DRoo-P, which also required the change of his livery to grey and yellow.

As Dunlop had dropped out of the series, he automatically changed tire sponsors with Falken.

Hibino won TANSO Championship at 2017 D1GP TSUKUBA DRIFT Rd.3, D1GP China in Hefei and D1 PRIMRING GP in Russia.

The front of this car is designed to look like a Plymouth Barracuda by Rocket Bunny parts.
