π FIRST WIN AT 14!
Manato Mogi takes victory at FDJ2 Okuibuki!
He wanted to win before turning fifteen. Together with 27WORKS, he made it happen.
Through a semifinal rerun and a rain-soaked final, Manato ( #270) fought his way to his first-ever FDJ2 victory!
π₯ Ebisu β 2nd
π₯ SUGO β 3rd
π₯ Okuibuki β WINNER!
Three consecutive podiums. Now second in the championship, just 50 points from the lead. π₯
π§ Behind the performance: a 2JZ 3.4L equipped with TOMEI/RSE engine components.
From the 3.4L stroker kit and camshafts to the inner shim kit and head gasket, our components play a part in supporting this demanding competition build.
Manato praised the engineβs sharp response, strong power, and ease of control. A hard-fought weekend ending in victory adds another competition result to that record of performance and reliability.
27WORKS brings those components together and makes their potential count. Manato delivers behind the wheel. Weβre proud to support their journey.
Congratulations to Manato, his family, and everyone at 27WORKS! And respect to the competitors, teams, and staff who made this event possible. π
