Our company will celebrate its 70th anniversary in 2024, and in this milestone year, driven by a desire to "give back to the automotive industry that has supported us for so many years" and "support the younger generation challenging themselves in the motorsports industry, which contributes to improving the performance of automobiles," we have decided to support Juju, a young female racing driver who is currently striving to achieve great things.
Juju's goal is to "become the first Japanese female F1/Formula E driver and become champion." Currently, she is competing full-time in the All Japan Super Formula Championship (hereinafter referred to as SUPER FORMULA), Asia's top formula racing series, while also taking on the challenge in the BOSS GP series in Europe. By supporting Juju's activities, our company hopes to encourage the younger generation who will lead the future not only of the motorsports industry but also of the automotive industry.
In addition, to commemorate the signing of this sponsorship agreement, we will be sponsoring tickets to the 4th and 5th rounds of the "SUPER FORMULA" series.
Two key points of this announcement

In the future, we plan to publish a special interview with Juju and a report on her participation in "SUPER FORMULA" on our website.
*Details will be announced on our website as soon as they are finalized.
Comments from player Juju
"SUPER FORMULA is the pinnacle of racing in Asia. Drivers who have competed in F1 in the past and champions from various categories participate, so I intend to do my best and learn from them this year."
Right now, I approach every race with the promise I made to my father: "No matter how many times I lose, I will never give up." I lose more often than I win, but if I give up after a loss, it's just a loss. However, if I can learn from my losses, I can move forward. I believe that the mental strength I've cultivated in this way is my greatest asset."
