Kaedear Racing Team
Yokohama-based motorcycle equipment manufacturer Kaedear has established a racing team, "Kaedear Racing Team," with professional rider Ken Ishizuka. In 2025, they will collaborate with the French team "RAC41," which placed second overall in the FIM World Endurance Road Race SST class last year, and will compete in the Suzuka 8 Hours as "Kaedear Racing-RAC41-HONDA." Chris Leesch and Kevin Manfredi will join from RAC41. In addition, 12 team members, including mechanics, will join from France, so they will be fully prepared. With world-class riders and staff, they will aim to win the SST class from their first year.

代表取締役 飯沢智博
In 2024, we came to support Ishizuka at the Suzuka 8 Hours as his personal sponsor. Amid the excitement and cheers, we witnessed other companies developing activities to capture the hearts of race fans, and we felt a sense of regret that "we haven't started anything yet." When we consulted Ishizuka, he said, "I'm interested in starting a new team myself. If you have the same feelings, why don't you try it together?" and we decided to take a step forward. The Caedia Racing Team is a challenge to bring a new wind to the industry by young companies and young athletes joining forces. We aim to embody all the charm of motorsports and deliver dreams, courage, and excitement to people.
