１1. Update on Vehicle Exhibits1) Nissan Motor Co., Ltd.
Exhibition Schedule: December 20, 2023 (Wednesday) through Mid-December 2024 (Tentative)
Featured Vehicles:① Datsun Fuji (1958 Australian rally class winner)
In 1958, Nissan Motor marked its foray into international competition by
participating in the 6th Australian Rally with two Datsun vehicles, christened'Fuji' and 'Sakura.' Meticulously prepared for the event, the Fuji clinched a classvictory, while the Sakura achieved a commendable fourth-place finish② Nissan R381(1968 Japanese Grand Prix winner)
This vehicle was specifically engineered to win the 1968 Japanese Grand Prix,
this car faced a significant challenge when it couldn't develop its intended V125L engine in time. Consequently, the team resorted to using a modified
Chevrolet V8 5.5L engine. A notable feature of the R381 is the 'Aero Stabilizer,'a unique left-right split-type variable rear wing designed to enhance operational
stability. This wing adjusts independently on each side during cornering andaligns symmetrically when braking, earning the car its nickname, 'Monster Bird.'
Out of three R381 cars that entered the race, one retired, but the other two
impressively finished first and sixth. The exhibit showcases the actual car that
achieved the first-place victory, driven by the renowned Kitano.

2) Honda Motor Co., Ltd.
Exhibition Schedule: January 2024 through the end of January 2025 (Tentative)
Featured Vehicles:① RC162
In 1961, this motorcycle made a significant impact in the 250cc class of theWorld Road Race Championship. Dominating the season, it secured victories
in 10 out of 11 races, leading to both rider and constructor championship titles.
The vehicle exhibited is the actual motorcycle ridden by champion MikeHailwood.
２② RA273
This car symbolizes the company's dedication to Formula 1, following its firstvictory at the Mexican Grand Prix in 1965. Developed for the 1966 season, theRA273 was a response to the shift from 1.5L to 3L engines. However, delays indeveloping a new car body suitable for the larger engine meant limited
participation that year, with only three races. In 1967, the company continued
to develop the RA273, focusing on maturation and weight reduction. The teamalso underwent significant changes, including the addition of former worldchampion John Surtees. This collaboration resulted in notable finishes: 3rd in
the South African Grand Prix, 6th in the British Grand Prix, and 4th in theGerman Grand Prix. The vehicle on display is the actual car that achieved the4th place finish in the German Grand Prix during that year's F1 championships.
③LOLA T93

In 1993, Honda launched Honda Performance Development, Inc. (HPD) toenhance its racing ventures in the United States. The following year, in 1994,
Honda started providing 2.65-liter turbo V8 engines to the CART World Series,
the foremost open-wheel (formula car) racing series in America. Initially facing
significant performance and reliability challenges compared to its competitors,
Honda employed its "Three Gens Principle," emphasizing a local-centric
strategy. This approach led to their first championship victory in 1995. Thevehicle exhibited is the inaugural CART car Honda entered in 1994.
