JVCKENWOOD Corporation will continue its domestic motorsports sponsorship activities this year. Motorsports is a dramatic sporting event where participating companies bring together cutting-edge technology, challenging extremes and engaging in fierce competition. We empathize with the creation of excitement through this technology, and under our corporate philosophy of "Creating excitement and peace of mind for the world's people," we sponsor motorsports. Furthermore, we feed back the experience and technology cultivated in such demanding race fields into our future product development.

Through this sponsorship, the KENWOOD brand logo will be displayed on the racing cars and racing suits of the supported teams and drivers. This aims to increase KENWOOD brand recognition among motorsports and automobile fans.

1. Initiatives as a Series Sponsor for Japan's Premier Motorsports "SUPER GT"

Since the 2013 season, we have continuously sponsored "SUPER GT," Japan's premier motorsports series. We develop in-car equipment such as car navigation systems, car audio, and drive recorders, and we believe there is a high affinity with "SUPER GT," which features races with GT cars modified from production vehicles.

Furthermore, since the 2014 season, we have been supplying in-car cameras specifically developed for "SUPER GT" utilizing our unique video technology. For the 2026 season, we will continue to supply these cameras to all GT500 class cars (14 vehicles) and 6 GT300 class cars in all series races, delivering the excitement of the races without omission through powerful visuals.

Operated by GT Association Co., Ltd., it is one of Japan's leading premier motorsports events, with various car manufacturers from around the world participating. Production cars are modified according to regulations, and two classes of race cars (GT cars), GT500 and GT300, with different performance and speed depending on the extent of modification, run together to compete for speed.
