【Comment】

◼︎ Teppei Nagoe
First of all, I am happy to be able to participate in Suzuka 8 Hours again this year.
I was with SDG Team HARC-PRO.Honda in Suzuka 8 Hours two years ago, and at that time we were able to achieve a podium finish.
Together with my strong teammates and the team with winning experience, I will work hard as one team to aim for victory !

 

◼︎ Keito Abe
I'd like to thank SDG and HARC-PRO for giving me to participate in Suzuka 8 Hours this year. This is my first time with an EWC-spec machine, but I'll do my best while receiving advice from everyone on the team.

 

◼︎ Yuki Kunii
I'm very happy to be able to participate in Suzuka 8 Hours again this year.
I‘d like to thank HRC, IDEMITSU Honda Team Asia, SDG, HARC-PRO, and everyone involved for their support in allowing me to participate in the race.
This year, the whole team will work hard to show everyone even more improved performance.

 

◼︎ Shigeki Honda, the team general manager
This year, we will not be inviting any overseas riders, and will be competing with pure HARC-PRO’s riders.
They are all in different fields, but we have Teppei Nagoe from All Japan Road Race Championship, Keito Abe from Asia Road Racing Championship, and Yuki Kunii from the Moto2 class of MotoGP.
We are a pure team that prides itself on being the flagship of the SDG team, so please support us again this year.
