::my racing weblog:: from Japan to the World.

 I decided that this year is the last year to compete in FJ1600.

Now I`m planing to move up to higher level formula car races or other touring car races.

I think the number of race categories in Japan is less than that of the other countries which motor sports is popular.
We have only few category to able to choice.
There are two categories between FJ1600 and Formula 3.
It is Formula 4[F4] and Formula Challenge Japan[FCJ]

   
                FCJ                                         F4
F4 is the original category in Japan.
FCJ is the same machine to Formula Renault.

Compare these two categories, FCJ is more competitive than Formula 4.
A lot of young talented drivers compete in this series.
FCJ limited the driver`s age under 26.

Of course I can compete but most important problem is the money.
The budget of FCJ is $70000 per year .
Compare to Formula Renault UK series, it is almost half.

 
But it is still hard for me to make money.
Now I`m working hard to get the sponsor and make money.
If I could determine to enter the FCJ, I intend to go to UK for the test !!
