Experience program for challenging motorsports and enjoying machine control. That is the "Tetsuya Yamano Handling Club". The advisor is professional racing driver Tetsuya Yamano.
Tetsuya Yamano, also known as the "Contractor of Victory", achieved the feat of winning the SUPER GT championship for three consecutive years with different teams, manufacturers, tire manufacturers, and paired drivers.
In 2023, they greatly contributed to the team's first championship win in the Super Taikyu series. Additionally, they achieved the championship in the PE1 class at the All Japan Gymkhana Championship with a car equipped with an electric parking brake, extending their total number of championship wins in the championship to an unprecedented 23. In the 2023 season, they achieved the feat of becoming a double champion in two different championships in the same year.
No timing will be done, and each car will run at approximately 10-second intervals. You can challenge the limits of driving such as full braking, understeer, and oversteer without worrying about other cars on the fully asphalt-paved South Course, which is laid out with white lines. It is a valuable event where you can also experience a ride-along with driver Tetsuya Yamano. We look forward to the participation of those who want to improve their driving skills.
