“I’m extremely excited to see ABeam Consulting come back as a primary sponsor at Texas Motor Speedway and also be primary sponsor at the final race of the season at Laguna Seca," said Takuma Sato. “ABeam’s technical support for every track has been really great and once again their enthusiasm and pride in their company is tremendous as is their passion for motorsport. I am very motivated to bring this beautiful blue ABeam car a strong result at both races."

Through ABeam Consulting’s partnership with RLL and Takuma Sato, ABeam is providing thirteen ABeam Digital engineers who are dedicated to the 2019 racing program.

ABeam’s US headquarters is location in Dallas, Texas and the race at Texas Motor Speedway is one of the most exciting of the season for us. We will have a large local presence at the event to support Takuma. We will also be at Laguna Seca to support Takuma with ABeam CEO Toshinori Iwasawa and other ABeam management."
