It is now displayed at “Welcome Square” near the main gate. President, Mr. & Mrs. Moriwaki and two MORIWAKI members who created the object make a presentation in front of media today. It will be relocated after the Fomula-1 this weekend. Please come and see it at Suzuka Circuit.

Brief report
GP250 class qualifying session started 10:35 Saturday morning. Shogo Moriwaki timed 1min31.915sec earlier in the session and came back to their pit to try different machine setup. He went back to the track to further improve his lap time. He came to a hair-pin corner, mistaking his line and crashed. No improvement in latter part of the session, however, he managed to stay on top of the list.

The race will start in 7hrs time. Let’s hope for the great win at the debut race.
Comments from our team manager Mr. Mamoru Moriwaki and the rider, Shogo
http://www.moriwaki.co.jp/global/racing/pdf/09-eng/09-rd5-okayama-eng-090926.pdf
Shogo Moriwaki timed fastest lap time in 250GP class with MD600 during the A.R.T. joint test; 1min32.348sec. It was a half second faster than his closest 250GP machine competitor, Yoichi Ui. It was a great start of the weekend.
Our objective is not just to win the race but how much gap we can create between current 2 stroke 250 machines. Let’s enjoy the weekend.
MORIWAKI RACING had left the shop to participate the All Japan Championship race this weekend with the new developing Moto2 machine: MD600.

MORIWAKI has been supporting Oleon Oils Motologic Racing team, Australia. They won 2008 Australian Superbike Championship with MORIWAKI Zero Racing Exhaust installed Honda CBR1000RR. The defending champion Glenn Allerton is now leading the championship and his teammate, Wayne Maxwell is in 3rd on the ranking.

Those lucky ones in Australia should go down to Philip Island this weekend and see the big 2+4 event!!!
