*About LMP3 machine
With less engineers and smaller facilities, we decided that it would be impossible to develop a dazzling and satisfying LMP3 machine, so we withdrew from that development.
*About collabolation with KCMG
Due to security issues, it has become difficult to outsource the carbon business to foreign companies.
Therefore, it was necessary to cancel the partnership with KCMG and launch a original carbon composite facility.
*Near future development plans
We plan to develop regional F3 new machine called F111/3R.
And we develop 2024 spec FIA-F4 called F111/4.
These cars shares main monocoque.
And we plan to update mother chassis car according to FIA-GT3. (no details. more power/add weight?)
*Future projects
We want to develop Super Formula eventually. And, in the future, we want to return to LeMans.
Before that we would like to introduce a road going sports car to the world, which is a longing for us.
It will be a compact light-weight sports car, not a super car that costs hundreds of millions of yen.
