How is everyone doing?It gets hot here during the daytime as well, but the mornings and evenings are cool enough that I haven’t needed to use the air conditioner.I’m sure the hot weather is still continuing in Japan.Please take care of y...

Additional note.I wanted to share that Johann’s victory speech at the party was really good.He talked about us,but the interpreter did not mention our name directly.Still, since he said “FCC,”I think many people probably understood who h...

After the traditional Honda party following the race, Johann sang for us!It truly touched my wounded heart.Good night.I can’t upload the video myself right now, so it will probably be tomorrow!He sang three songs for us.If everyone wants...

It’s insane!Well, I know exactly what I’m doing,so maybe I’m crazy too,but holding motorcycle races in this kind of heat is simply not normal.This announcement itself is proof of that. And then there are the generators and temporary pref...

Alan crashed twice, and Taiga crashed once!The riders are okay.However, the bike was damaged beyond repair, so our day is over.I gave the order to end the session for the team.I gathered the riders together and spoke to them as well. It ...

Good morning.I just measured the track temperature, and it was 50°C.It’s not like I’m happy about it, but it’s not outside our expectations either.Still, the fact that the Suzuka 8 Hours has to be run in conditions like this is a serious...

What a wonderful sound that name has —Suzuka!I truly love this place.The joy of being able to return here again is beyond what words can describe.

I belong to the team called Japan.That’s why I went to vote in the election to choose our representatives.The photo is a poster created for me by FCC’s administrative staff. It was quite a long time ago, but I still remember how happy it...

I went to a bento shop in Suzuka.The lady there pointed at the TSR calendar hanging on the wall and told me:“Just a little while ago, a foreign customer asked me to sell them this calendar.”But since it wasn’t for sale, she refused.Heari...
