LFA are Japans’ 500 world class super sports cars, which are entirely made in Japan by Toyota Motor Corporation Lexus International. Since being held for the first time in 2012, this event is held annually with LFA cars lent by Toyota Motor Corporation and professional drivers offering their services for free.
We are permitted to use the “Ai-Ring” test course of the local Iwaki firm Akebono Brake Industry Company Limited, free of charge. When the event was held for the first time, we were aided by the excellent efforts of the hosts who speeded up repairs of the course following damage in the Great East Japan Earthquake.
Volunteer staff from Fukushima University assembled and gave assistance at the second event in 2013, while volunteers from Hama Technical Academy, which was a participating school, helped out at the fourth event in 2015. We have also received free gasoline from SATO Nenryo Co. Ltd. and numerous other assistance from our business partners. We hope that this circle of support, geared to helping children who will drive the future, will continue to expand with everybody’s help from now on.
