PSCJ participation Seina Yamamoto
Seina Yamamoto, who participates in PSCJ, made his kart debut at the age of seven. I think I was still at the level of an assisted bicycle when I was 7 years old ... (I wonder if that is the case (laughs)).
It seems that this PSCJ will be the first race in a GT car.
I'm looking forward to the future!
