Furusato Taiyo

[Graduated in 2019] Competing in Moto3™ (2022 - Present)

I was attracted to the challenge of the world and enrolled in HRS Suzuka (then SRS). I was able to learn in an environment that is unparalleled in the world, with school vehicles, experienced instructors, and opportunities to drive on international standard courses. Also, by training myself in a tough environment, I was able to open the way to the World Championships. I will continue to work hard based on what I learned at HRS Suzuka and look forward to racing with my juniors who have been trained at the school on the best stage in the future.

Yuki Tsunoda

[Class of 2016] Formula 1 Participation (2021–)

I decided to enroll in the Motorcycle School because I thought it was a realistic route to becoming an F1 driver and because I love Honda. I believe it is a school where you can learn about racing and take a big step forward. Also, as a person and an athlete, I learned how to behave at this school, and even now as an F1 driver, I feel that what I learned at that time is still alive.
After graduation, I became more aware of myself as a racing driver by participating in races as a member of Honda. It is a tough world where results are always expected, but on the other hand, if you can achieve good results, you will have the chance to move on to the next step with the support of Honda. The path to becoming a racing driver starting from HRS Suzuka is very attractive.
