[Yoshimura’s 38th Suzuka-8H]

We are expecting another “Long Hot Summer of Suzuka-8 Hours”!
Last year, we enjoyed company’s 60th anniversary and made a special team called “#12 Legend Team” for Suzuka-8H with legendary riders Kevin Schwantz, Satoshi Tsujimoto and Nobu Aoki. However #12 bike only lasted 6 laps due to heavy crash in the rain.

For 2015, we will not have the revenge “Legend Team”, although many fans would like to see it happens again.
Instead, we will have a new challenge for the victory and concentrate our power to 1 team with upcoming riders as follows;

: Takuya Tsuda who won the recent Suzuka JSB1000 Race with new lap record in qualifying.
: Alex Lowes from UK who is a WSB rider of Voltcom Crescent Suzuki and riding “Yoshimura Powered” GSX-R1000 in the championship. (placed 3rd at Buriram Round in Thailand)
: Josh Waters who now contests in BSB and has been with Yoshimura Suzuka 8H members already 3 time.

Thank you very much for supporting “Yoshimura Suzuki Shell ADVANCE” team!
