Incoming STMO Chairperson Morizo/Akio Toyoda

I think there is tremendous enthusiasm for motorsports in Asia. The beauty of Super Taikyu is its “village festival” ethos, and that culture exists across Asia as well.

Motorsports originated in Europe, and my generation was always drawn to that culture. Now, I sense that something similar is starting to happen in Asia.

First, I want to show that Fuji is the place to be in Asia and that It leads to Europe.

Those who take part in motorsports want to be faster than everyone else, to stand atop the podium.

In part, I feel that my role is to create a place that can help them fulfill these ambitions and provide a pathway to the rest of the world.

STO CEO & Incoming STMO Vice Chairperson Harumi Kuwayama

If I may say so myself, in recent times, Super Taikyu has seen consistency on the courses, and we have been running very safe, clean races. I think this is one of the great strengths of Super Taikyu.

In all honesty, collisions do sometimes happen, and attention needs to be focused on maintaining the cars.

I want to showcase this new era of racing, as it were, and give people across Asia an appreciation for our approach to race organizing.

For people in Asia or around the world, it may be slightly different from the racing they are used to. But I think the Super Taikyu brand can be proud of running good, safe, and fair races with such a large number of entrants.

We hope to convey this message and continue to provide fun races that draw in more and more people.
