We have just finished the race here in Motegi. Taiyo Furusato was battling for a top 10 position, and although he finished 9th, it’s not the result we had hoped for. We believe he was capable of achieving a better outcome. Nonetheless, he gave his best effort, and now we must shift our focus to the upcoming races to meet our goals.
Tatchakorn Buasri suffered a crash in the opening laps at Turn 3. Fortunately, he is okay and doesn’t have any type of serious injury, and we are optimistic that he will recover fully in time for the next races. I would like to express my gratitude to our staff and sponsors. Although this result wasn’t what we anticipated, we will continue working hard to improve in the remaining races.

I’m not entirely satisfied with today’s result, but I’m proud to have given my all at my home Grand Prix. I pushed myself to the limit throughout the race, staying focused until the end. We’ll continue working hard, and I believe better results will come soon, as hard work always pay off.

Today was tough for me. Unfortunately, I couldn’t finish the race after an early crash at Turn 3. I didn’t have the best start, but I pushed hard until the crash happened. It’s disappointing, especially after all the hard work we put in to achieve a good result. I hope to be fully recovered for the race in Australia in two weeks.
