Hotel Brand 'seven x seven' Racing Team 'seven × seven Racing' to Compete in 24 Hours of Le Mans

The racing team 'seven × seven Racing,' operated by the hotel brand 'seven x seven' under FHG HOTELS (Kasumigaseki Capital Group, CEO: Hidekazu Ogata), will compete in the 94th 24 Hours of Le Mans, one of the world's three major motor races.

The 24 Hours of Le Mans is a world-renowned endurance race held in Le Mans, western France. Known for its grueling 24-hour format where teams compete for maximum distance, the event tests not only driver skill but also team strategy and vehicle reliability. 'seven × seven Racing' will partner with Germany's top-tier team Proton Competition, aiming for a podium finish in the LMP2 class with the ORECA 07 prototype.

The driver lineup consists of Jonas Ried, Harry King, and Katsunoshin Ota. Ota is one of Japan's most accomplished drivers, with extensive experience in Super Formula, Super GT, IMSA, and Super Taikyu. This marks his first participation in the Le Mans 24 Hours.

In conjunction with the race, public viewing events will be held at four properties: 'seven × seven Itoshima,' 'seven × seven Ishigaki,' 'edit × seven Fuji Gotemba,' and 'edit × seven Setouchi Shodoshima.'

Attendees can watch the intense race action in real time. Whether you're a motorsport enthusiast or experiencing motorsports for the first time, everyone is welcome to join.
