Taiyo Furusato

[2019 Graduate] Moto3 Participation (2022 - Present)

I was attracted to the path of challenging the world and enrolled in HRS Suzuka (then SRS). I was able to learn in an unparalleled environment, with school vehicles, experienced instructors, and opportunities to drive on an internationally recognized course. Additionally, by training myself in a rigorous environment, I was able to pave my way to the World Championship. Moving forward, I will continue to strive based on what I learned at HRS Suzuka, and I look forward to racing on the best stage with the juniors who have been trained at the school in the future.

School Days

Yuki Tsunoda

[Graduated in 2016] Formula 1 Participation (2021 - Present)

I decided to enroll in the school because I thought it was a realistic route to becoming an F1 driver and I liked Honda. I believe it is a school where I can learn about racing in a well-prepared environment and make a significant step up. Additionally, I learned how to behave as a person and as an athlete at this school, and I still feel that the lessons from that time are beneficial even now that I have become an F1 driver.
After graduation, by participating in races with the awareness of being a part of "Honda's drivers," my consciousness as a racing driver has strengthened. It is a tough world where results are always demanded, but conversely, if you produce results, you will have the opportunity to move on to the next step under Honda's support. The path to becoming a racing driver starting from HRS Suzuka is very appealing.
