Sato runs demo laps at Motegi for Honda
The Verizon IndyCar Series no longer races at Twin Ring Motegi, but Japan's first Indianapolis 500 winner, Takuma Sato, drove his Dallara-Honda around the circuit during Honda Thanks Day at the Japanese oval race complex, where the manufacturer salutes its fans for supporting its racing programs. Note the car bottoming going into Turn 3 where the track suffered earthquake damage and also note huge crowd that turned out to watch! That bump can be repaved – get the race back to Motegi!
