Trophy

The 2026 MotoGP™ trophies were made using wood from forest thinning carried out as part of conservation efforts at Motegi.
By connecting resources from the forest with the riders and the world, this initiative symbolizes the Grand Prix’s commitment to sustainability.

Mobility Resort Motegi preserves approximately 65% of its 640-hectare grounds as forest.
After more than 20 years of forest restoration and management, over 5,800 species have now been recorded there.
The MotoGP™ trophies were made using wood from forest thinning at this site, where rich natural surroundings and motorsports coexist.
Through motorsports, this project demonstrates how natural resources can be used sustainably while conserving biodiversity.

  Design Concept

  The design was created by JIN KURAMOTO STUDIO, led by product designer Jin Kuramoto.
  
  The checkered-flag pattern that signals the race winner is set within a single circle—a wheel, a medal, and a symbol of the forest’s cycle. The MotoGP™ trophies use Japanese wild cherry, whose dark wood evokes gold, while the Moto2™ and Moto3™ trophies use light-colored, durable Japanese white oak. Together with gold, silver, and bronze aluminum plates, the materials distinguish the classes and finishing positions.
  
  The same concept of a “circle” carries through to the Idemitsu Moto4 Asia Cup, connecting the podiums of all four categories.

  MotoGP™ · Moto2™ · Moto3™
  Crafting trophies that bring forest resources to the podium

  The 12 trophies across the three categories were made by Karimoku Furniture, a wooden furniture manufacturer based in Higashiura, Aichi Prefecture. Its “high-tech × high-touch” approach combines the precision of advanced woodworking machinery with the skilled touch of craftspeople, transforming wood from Hello Woods into trophies worthy of the highest level of racing. The checkered flag that defines each trophy is brought into relief by carving deeply into the end grain.
  
  Each trophy is finished individually, combining the precision of woodworking machinery with the skill of craftspeople. Reassessing the choice of wood species based on moisture content and adapting the work to the condition of each piece are all part of a process that reflects a commitment to working with natural wood.

  Idemitsu Moto4 Asia Cup
  A Trophy Workshop
  with Children

  On September 12, 2026, a workshop was held at Hello Woods for six children in grades 3 through 5. After walking through the forest, they put their impressions into words. Then, using sliders for descriptive words in an app developed by VUILD, each child decided on the shape of a trophy.
  
  Using that data, VUILD’s digital carpenters will craft the trophies from oak sourced from Hello Woods. The six trophies designed by the children—each one unique—will be presented to young riders.

• This project uses materials sourced from Hello Woods during the forest management process to make the trophies, combining them with other materials as needed.

  In 2026, the project's first year, we selected materials based on properties such as the wood's strength and moisture content. Over the next several years, we aim to gradually expand the use of materials sourced from Motegi.

  Rather than treating these completed trophies as the finish line, we want to work with more people over time to build a cycle connecting the forest and the trophies. We believe the value of this project lies in that process itself.
