Default 130R
Spent the weekend at Suzuka for a track test. We walked around the track as its my first time here and shot some video clips of our cars in action.

Man the 130R is fast!!

Sounds like F1 !

Has your car been chosen as the platform or are you still competing with other manufacturers?

Who does your testing? Is it the same driver for all the makes or do you have your own hot shoe?

Thanks for posting.

All FN teams have their own cars supplied by us. We're here to support them all really. We are the sole supplier to Formula Nippon. Its a great, high caliber racing series here in Japan.

Chris, I have to say that the FN car is one of the best looking current production open wheel cars right now. Everytime I see these videos and after I saw it in real life at PRI I'm impressed by how good it looks. Many of the new open wheel cars just don't look right and this one does. Then you add the sound and it's great.

Now you guys need to build a F1000 car for us here in the US.

Yes, its radius. Many tracks in Japan have corners named from its Ladius..
