The 20th Motegi KART Endurance Festival "K-TAI" was held. This year, due to the impact of the new coronavirus, the group photo, checkered flag experience, and Twin Ring Motegi Angel pit report were suspended, and the event was shortened from 7 hours to 5 hours. Thanks to the cooperation of all participants, thorough measures to prevent the spread of infection were able to be implemented and the event was successfully held.

After a rainy July, August finally arrived and the rainy season ended, bringing with it the intense heat of midsummer. The final event for K-TAI was held on August 2nd (Sun), and from the morning the sky was clear and the temperature rose. It was expected to be a tough endurance event in the harsh heat, but with many clouds and less direct sunlight, the conditions were somewhat more comfortable.

The final event, which was delayed by about 5 hours from the scheduled time, started with a rolling start. The first to enter the first corner was 【#86 Corolla Shin-Ibaraki-ReonKids-1】 from the second grid. Following this were 【#101 FIELD@tousou】, 【#30 Corolla Shin-Ibaraki-ReonKids-2】, and 【#31 3% Drunk@GEN】 who drew the pole position. In the opening lap, 【#86 Corolla Shin-Ibaraki-ReonKids-1】 took the lead, followed closely by 【#30 Corolla Shin-Ibaraki-ReonKids-2】 in a 1-2 formation. In third place was 【#101 FIELD@tousou】, and in fourth place was 【#11 Scuderia LCT】 who rose up the ranks. Following them were 【#75 RF.AOYAMA Sake Powers】, 【#31 3% Drunk@GEN】, and 【#25 racer racer T.F.A】 as they entered the second lap.

As we calmly complete laps, the rankings change as usual at the timing of pit stops. At the one hour mark, #38 TeamKRS-DAI&MKS was in the lead, but #510 510club with fast lap times takes the lead, only to pit in immediately after. Once again, #38 TeamKRS-DAI&MKS takes the lead. In the rear, #56 Yokohama Mini Four-Wheel Competition Department and #23 A1-RACING RED were battling for second place.

At the halfway point, after 2 and a half hours, [#38 TeamKRS-DAI&MKS] maintained their lead with 47 laps. [#4 ddd] moved up to second place, while [#80 OREGA RACING@GEN] was in third place, also on the same lap as the leader.

And when the remaining one hour approaches, the strategies of each team become clear. At this point, [#2 Hayakoba Racing] was in the lead with 76 laps. [#4 ddd] and [#38 TeamKRS-DAI&MKS] were chasing on the same lap. At this point, while many teams had pitted in more than 5 times, [#4 ddd] had only pitted in 4 times. With 45 minutes remaining, [#2 Hayakoba Racing] pitted in and [#4 ddd] took the lead, but with 40 minutes remaining, [#4 ddd] also headed to the pit. Here, [#86 Corolla Ibaraki-ReonKids-1] rose to the top and [#23 A1-RACING RED] followed. However, with 27 minutes remaining, there was a kart that leaked oil from the downhill straight to the 90-degree corner, and a safety car was introduced to handle the situation. Although the gap between the two teams narrowed to 1.759 seconds, due to the oil treatment, the race ended under the safety car and [#86 Corolla Ibaraki-ReonKids-1] took the checkered flag in first place. However, [#86 Corolla Ibaraki-ReonKids-1] received a 2-lap penalty for overtaking during the safety car period, and [#23 A1-RACING RED] won the most laps award.
"We were able to save fuel by running with two cars from the same team. It was a victory of teamwork. There was a contact at the hairpin which caused us to spin 180 degrees and lose time, so without that, we might have been able to take the checkered flag in first place," said player Yuta Kishi.

【#86 Corolla Ibaraki-New-ReonKids-1】 won the most laps award in Class III. In Class I, 【#125 Blue Eyes k】 achieved back-to-back victories.
And the MVP was awarded to 【#78 SPJ TECORSA】.
