A lot is going on, isn’t it?

And it probably won’t stop anytime soon.

I’m not going to go into detail about what it all means, but if the leaders of each country really want to decide things by racing for position on a circuit, we’d be happy to lend them our machines!

If it meant everyone could cut their massive military budgets, maybe it wouldn’t be a bad idea to fight it out through sport or something like that…
—though while I’m saying that, we’re also preparing for our own battle: racing.

We’re finally reaching the point where we cross borders.
Within this month, we have to do the final checks on the machine and ship it to Europe.

By mid-February, we’ll be working at Honda France.
In early March, we’ll do a three-day test in Almería.
That’s where we’ll confirm our strength for this season and move on to the Le Mans test!

I’m happy that so many riders will be taking these out on track.

And if Prime Minister Takaichi wants to ride one—she’d be more than welcome.
I’ll provide an absolutely incredible machine!
