Experience program for challenging motorsports and enjoying machine control. That is the "Tetsuya Yamano Handling Club". The advisor is professional racing driver Tetsuya Yamano.
Tetsuya Yamano, also known as the "Contractor of Victory", achieved the feat of winning the SUPER GT championship for three consecutive years with different teams, manufacturers, tire manufacturers, and paired drivers.
In 2024, we will participate in the Super Taikyu series ST-2 class with the Honda Civic Type-R. We achieved 3rd place in the series, the highest position among the Civic competitors. Furthermore, in the All Japan Gymkhana Championship, we won the PE1 class for three consecutive years with vehicles equipped with electric parking brakes. This updated my own record for the total number of championships won in the same championship, extending it to 24, the most in All Japan Gymkhana.
No timing will be done, and each car will run at approximately 10-second intervals. You can challenge the limits of driving such as full braking, understeer, and oversteer without worrying about other cars on the fully asphalt-paved South Course, which is laid out with white lines. It is a valuable event where you can also experience a ride-along with driver Tetsuya Yamano. We look forward to the participation of those who want to improve their driving skills.
