Suzuki Motor Corporation will participate in the 46th Suzuka 8 Hours Endurance Race 2025 which will be held at the Suzuka Circuit as one of the 2025 FIM Endurance World Championship (EWC), from 1 to 3 August. Following from the previous year, Team SUZUKI CN CHALLENGE will continue to participate in the Experimental Class.
Aiming to achieve both a higher level of environmental load reduction and improved competitiveness, Team SUZUKI CN CHALLENGE which is composed of Suzuki employees, will promote machine development for functioning various sustainable items, including 100% sustainable fuel shifted from last year’s 40% bio-sourced fuel. Together with the partner companies, we will take on the challenge of exceeding the previous year’s result of eighth place overall.
To further accelerate the development of environmental performance technologies through competition under the demanding conditions of endurance racing, we will work with higher targets to aim for technical feedback for future products.
