Every now and then, we try to get involved in something outside of what we do everyday and because of our relationships within motorsports, we were able to get an opportunity to sponsor a time attack car in the United States. A time attack is another term for time trial. The term is commonly used in Japan for individual time trial events for motor vehicles that involves a vehicle running around the circuit in lieu of a qualifying lap and the term is widely adopted outside the country for tuner event and media.
We’re sponsoring FX Motorsports Development (FXMD) and super modified class NSX, which for the most part competes in two series, Redline and Super Lap Battle, both of which are currently the dominant series in the United States. You can kind of see our logo on the hood of the car below NEO Synthetics and Race Engine Development. Most recently, FXMD crushed the competition at Super Lap Battle in Las Vegas by over 5 seconds. We’re looking forward to seeing how the team performs the rest of the race season.
Hopefully we’ll have some more opportunities arise in the near future that will allow us to further our involvement in motorsports as everyone on our team has an interest on a personal level. Depending on how much I’m able to develop my Honda S2000 and my driving this coming year, we might compete the car in time attack as well. Stay tuned as I have a feeling we’ll have something in the works soon enough.
