[Comment from Yoshihide Muroya]
I want to send my very best cheers from the sky so that all the athletes gathering from across Asia can give everything they have built up over the years. The smiley face I draw in the sky is a message to the athletes and to everyone cheering them on. I would be delighted if you could look up at the Nagoya sky in the afternoon and help make these Games even more exciting together.

[About LEXUS PATHFINDER AIR RACING]
A co-creation team formed by air race pilot Yoshihide Muroya and LEXUS. Starting with the launch of a "technical exchange program" in 2017, the team signed a partnership agreement in 2021.
By applying race plane technologies such as aerodynamics and cooling to vehicle development, and vehicle technologies that assist and support occupants to race plane development, the team aims to advance both through technical exchange that transcends the boundary between sky and land.
Competing in "AIR RACE X" since 2023, the team won the inaugural title and the 2024 series championship. The knowledge gained through team activities is fed back into LEXUS's commitment to "making ever-better cars."
