However, #KYOJOCUP 's parent company, Inter Proto Motorsport, is adding a Kyojo class to the FCR-Vita Series (Fuji Speedway's annual championship for Vita-01s) this year. Likely to not alienate some of the drivers/teams who don't have the budget or the aptitude to go single-seater racing.

From 2017-2024, #KYOJOCUP used mechanically identical Vita-01s - a class of lightweight, open-top bespoke race cars typically aimed at amateur/semi-pro drivers.

This year they'll move to hybridised Formula 4 cars constructed by Hong Kong's KCMG - which were also used at the FIA Motorsport Games.

Kyojo Cup, the oldest active all-women's auto racing series, had its first joint test as the main series shifts from Vita-01 spec racers to hybridised F4 cars.

Rio Shimono, who has a couple of years of F4 experience under her belt, was quickest over two days at Fuji. #KYOJOCUP

#KYOJOCUP 2024最終戦、翁長選手残念でしたね。
でもチャンピオン目指してスタートに賭けたのだし、強力なライバルとの熱いレースが毎回見られて楽しかった。

来年はKYOJOもフォーミュラとなるので、より速く強くなった翁長選手を見られるといいな。
