relaxed racing

To refresh myself, I recently participated in the Rentai race held at Tsukuba Circuit's Course 1000 as Team KADOYA!

The content is a little different from the usual, but I thought it would be nice to introduce it once in a while (lol)

This time, I participated in the 4-hour endurance race with my company's recreational bike, the HRC GROM.

While struggling with the extremely fast-paced pit stops and mini-games that take place once every 10 minutes.

The 4 hour race went by in the blink of an eye.

No one fell down and everyone enjoyed riding the bike.

It was a day that gave me a sense of fulfillment and made me want to learn more about riding a motorcycle.
