We continue our commitment to the Endurance World Championship alongside Team 3ART Best Of Bike Hamaguchi. This week, the team is in Japan for one of the most iconic races of the season: the Suzuka 8 Hours, which will take place from July 3rd to 5th, 2026.
One of the biggest events in the World Endurance Championship
Off to the Suzuka circuit
The Suzuka circuit is one of the most prestigious events in motorcycle endurance racing. Its technical layout and high level of demand make it a particularly anticipated race for teams and riders.
Team 3ART approaches this new round with the objective of continuing its progress after the races held at Le Mans and Spa-Francorchamps.
Encouraging initial trials
The first test sessions allowed the team to find its bearings on the Japanese circuit.
Competing in the Superstock category, Team 3ART currently holds 4th place in its class, a promising result at this stage of the weekend. These initial lap times also confirm the progress made by the team.

This setup accompanies the drivers throughout the weekend on one of the most demanding circuits on the calendar, where every detail contributes to the search for performance and reliability.
We will be following the progress of this adventure in Japan with great interest!
