INSPIRATION

Sato : The lunar race is more than just a sporting event. This is a major step in fostering the inquisitive spirit of humanity, and I believe it will become a symbolic event that shows how humanity will interact with the universe. I hope that people will deepen their interest in space through the lunar race.
Kanki : From a technical standpoint, racing on the moon is a big challenge. In addition to designing a vehicle suitable for low gravity and vacuum environments, life support systems to keep the driver safe and communication systems with the Earth are also extremely important. Engineering teams will need to face various challenges in how to meet these difficulties.
Sawai : The lunar race may change the form of entertainment. To enable spectators to watch the lunar race in real time from the Earth, communications technology will need to evolve, and new media technologies will likely be developed. This event may accelerate advances in space technology and lead to the birth of a new space industry.

Honda designers accelerate creativity using Generative AI and augment the possibilities of dreams.

FUTURE POSSIBILITIES
(How We Move You.)

Holding a lunar race may further deepen people's interest in space and encourage the development of new curricula in the field of education. This will be an opportunity for children to become interested in space science and engineering, and to start on the path to becoming future space developers.
The lunar race will not only be a new type of racing experience, but also a testing ground for exploring the human lifestyle in space. New technologies created during the race's development process will make space travel and the possibility of living on the moon a reality.
This event will also serve as a stimulus to pave the way for sustainable space exploration. The eco-design of race vehicles and the efficient use of resources on the moon will also lead to increased awareness of sustainability on the Earth.

FUTURE DREAM STORY

When I stand on the starting line of the Luna League Grand Prix, the tranquility of the moon, which is different from the Earth’s, dominates my mind. There is no engine sound, just the sound of tires scraping through the lunar sand. When the race starts, the car I'm riding jumps around as if it has forgotten about gravity, moving around the course with dynamic movements that take advantage of weightlessness.
A magnificent panoramic view of the infinite space surrounding me and the Earth in the distance. Thrilling battles with competitors unfold in breathtaking silence. In this competition, winners and losers are determined by race techniques adapted to the lunar environment, with a different feel from the Earth, and the winner will not only be the fastest driver, but also the most unique and original driver. The Lunar League Grand Prix is more than just a race, it's the ultimate challenge that embodies the new rules of a new world.
