Director's Comment

We are very happy to announce that we will be participating in the Suzuka 8 Hour Endurance Road Race in collaboration with Evangelion Racing. Since 2010, we have teamed up to participate in the Suzuka 8-Hour Endurance Road Race, and many fans, including myself, were moved by the screening of the Shin Evangelion movie.

I'm very proud that our team has been able to work together on such a wonderful project in the form of a race. I would like to thank everyone who has been involved in the Evangelion series, and I will do my best in this last race of the year.

The team is made up of young Japanese riders who are the future of the team. To be honest, they don't have much experience in endurance racing, but we believe in their potential.

Hikaru Okubo is currently competing in Moto-E, the pinnacle of electric motorcycles, which is held in conjunction with MotoGP, and has been active in various world stages such as WSSP.

Yuto Sano is active in the fiercely contested All Japan Championship ST600 class, and has won at Suzuka in the past, so he is an outstanding talent with high expectations. The third rider is still being worked out, but will be another talented young rider.

It is precisely at times like these that we believe in the fresh power of hope like theirs, and we will take on the challenge to win.
