What is Honda Racing School
Suzuka?

We bring up racing riders and racing drivers who will play an active role in world-class motorsport.

Honda Racing School Suzuka (HRS) is the racing school supervised by Honda Racing with the aim of development of racing riders and racing drivers who will be active all over the world.
With the system that allows for seamless instruction from training at school through to actual racing, we aim to develop racing riders and racing drivers not only in their riding and driving skills, but also in the mental strength and humanity required to compete at the top class in the world.

The Japanese motorsports industry plays an important role, including the research and development of high-performance machines and hosting world championships.
As a result, young people from Japan are beginning to excel in motorsports around the world.

Suzuka Circuit, which has hosted motorcycle and automobile motorsports events including Formula1, anticipated the needs in times to come and opened the “Suzuka Circuit Racing School Junior” (currently HRS Suzuka Moto Class) in 1992.
The following year, in 1993, the “Suzuka Circuit Racing School Kart” was established as a developing institute for the next generation of drivers.And in 1995, we started the “Suzuka Circuit Racing School Formula” (currently the HRS Suzuka Formula Class), which was the only professional racing school in Japan at the time with the aim of developing formula drivers.

HRS continues to produce numerous racing riders and racing drivers who compete successfully in the top-tier categories in Europe, Asia, and around the world.

Message from the principals

: Moto Class Principal; Tadayuki Okada; Our school aims to bring up riders who can excel at the IATC#1, which is the gateway to MotoGP™, to move on to become future MotoGP riders. Many students enroll in the school with the goal of becoming a MotoGP™ rider, but we teach the students the basics, from braking to clutch operation and how to use their body to lean the bike. To succeed on the world stage, not only technical skills but also communication and expressive abilities are required. We provide an environment where the students can learn these skills as well as riding techniques.
We assess each student's goals, problems, and obstacles, and provide instruction that is appropriate for that student. Our instructors will work together to lead the students to achieve their goals and we offer programs designed to help them see motorcycling as an enjoyable sport. Come join us and make your dreams come true.
Note 1: Idemitsu Asia Talent Cup

: Formula Class Principal; Takuma Sato; The greatest appeal of our school is the opportunity to drive alongside top Honda Racing (HRC) drivers who compete in Japan and abroad, with instructors experienced in motorsports around the world always watching over you.
I believe this is an ideal environment where you can learn a great deal and hone your skills.
This environment encourages you to identify challenges that arise during sessions and issues you discover in races, then work to improve your skills.
For drivers who grow here and achieve results, HRC will provide the next opportunity to take on a challenge.
Even if they do not achieve the results they hoped for, many graduates apply what they learned here, keep working without giving up, and go on to succeed as racing drivers.
Believe in your potential, and let's aim for the world stage together!
