  • Two Factory Yamaha Teams Aim for Third Straight Win at the 40Th “Coca-Cola” Suzuka 8 Hours
    May 28, 2017 Two Factory Yamaha Teams Aim for Third Straight Win at the 40th “Coca-Cola” Suzuka 8 Hours Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. is excited to announce that two Yamaha factory teams will enter this year’s 40th “Coca-Cola” Suzuka 8 Hours Endurance Road Race. The Yamaha Factory Racing Team will return to challenge for their third consecutive Suzuka victory alongside full-time Endurance World Championship (EWC) challengers, the factory-supported YART Yamaha Official EWC Team. The legendary event is the final round of the EWC this season and is set to take place between July 27th and 30th at Suzuka Circuit in Mie Prefecture, Japan. The two teams will be aiming to make Yamaha history by taking a third consecutive victory and the brand’s seventh overall at the event. Clocking 218 laps to win the race last year, the Yamaha Factory Racing Team will again feature Japanese racing legend Katsuyuki Nakasuga, who in 2016 took his second consecutive Suzuka 8 Hours win as well as a record-breaking fifth-straight All Japan JSB1000 title. Lining up with Nakasuga will be Alex Lowes—Nakasuga’s Suzuka teammate from last year—and Michael van der Mark, who will be making his first Suzuka 8 Hours appearance with Yamaha. Lowes and Van der Mark contest the World Superbike Championship on the YZF-R1 with the Pata Yamaha Official WorldSBK Team, and both have grasped the victory trophy at the 8 Hours before, so they will undoubtedly be keen to do so again. Forming the second factory effort at Suzuka will be the YART Yamaha Official EWC Team battling full-time for the 2017 title.

  • 1 March 2010
    4 June 2012 RACE REPORT 2012 QTEL FIM Endurance World Championship - Suzuka 8 Hours Waters confirmed for Suzuka 8 Hours return with Yoshimura Suzuki Australian Superbike Championship leader Josh Waters will compete in next month’s Suzuka 8 Hours round of the 2012 QTEL FIM Endurance World Championship in Japan on 27-29 July. The Team Suzuki ASBK regular will join the iconic Yoshimura Suzuki squad for the event aboard a World Superbike specification GSX-R1000, partnering with experienced Japanese star Nobuatsu Aoki and Crescent Suzuki World Superbike regular Leon Camier. Waters made his Suzuka 8 Hours debut with Yoshimura Suzuki in 2011 and finished an exceptional second position, which was enough for the team to invite the 25-year-old back for 2012. “I was very surprised and honoured when Yoshimura Suzuki asked me to race at Suzuka again,” Waters explained. “There are so many great Suzuki riders worldwide who want to do the 8 Hours, so to be chosen was a really good feeling. “I’ll definitely be trying my best and I learnt a lot last year, so hopefully this year we can go even better. I’ll spend two weeks testing in July, staying with Nobu as I’ve become good friends with him.” Waters will travel to Japan in July to commence initial testing, reacclimatising himself with the team’s highly modified GSX-R1000 and factory Bridgestone tyres that the team will compete on during the historic race. “It’s the bike that I raced in World Superbike last year with Yoshimura Suzuki,” Waters added.
