In 2021, the ROOKIE Racing team made a bold statement at the Super Taikyu (Endurance) Race held at the Fuji Speedway for the second time.

This impressive feat demonstrated ROOKIE Racing’s commitment to exploring technologies and showcasing alternatives to tackle carbon neutrality in the motorsports industry. 
The ROOKIE Racing team continues participating in the “Super Taikyu Series 2023” with its hydrogen-powered engine and carbon-neutral fuel vehicles to showcase the significant step forward in promoting sustainable and environmentally friendly practices in motorsports.
