French driver Johann Zarco is thrilled to be taking part in the legendary Suzuka 8 Hours, which are approaching on July 21st. The competition, considered the biggest motorcycle race in the world, represents an important milestone for the MotoGP rider, who aims to join the list of MotoGP legends who have already triumphed at Suzuka.

Zarco, two-time Moto2 world champion, faces this new challenge with enthusiasm and gratitude: ‘I’m excited to be racing in the Suzuka 8 Hours. It’s the biggest motorcycle race and also an important race for Honda. Just like many MotoGP legends have won the Suzuka 8 Hours before, I also would like to win as a Team HRC with Japan Post rider. I appreciate Honda and LCR for giving me this opportunity’.

The track, from what he has tested so far, has left the Frenchman with good impressions: ‘Suzuka is quite impressive. So fast. And a good asphalt with good grip. I was able to learn the track by riding a lot during the two days. Takahashi is very fast, so I tried to learn from him and keep as much as possible. I think we had a really enjoyable test’.

Even so, the imposing track made Zarco nervous, despite the experience, as well as the time each exit takes, very different from what he is used to: ‘I was nervous on day one because it was all new to me, but gradually I became more relaxed and could ride better. I think I will be able to ride better in the race. The bike is competitive and [so] then you can just work on yourself. MotoGP races last about 40 minutes, but a Suzuka 8 Hours stint lasts an hour. I have never raced for such a long time before. But I knew the Suzuka 8 Hours is a race I would do one day, even the 24 Heures Motos and Bol d’Or are races I have said I would do’.

Now on vacation from MotoGP, Zarco didn’t hesitate when the invitation came: ‘I was thinking maybe this year is possible because [the date doesn’t clash]. When Honda asked me, I said I would love to do it because it’s an opportunity to get some freedom and to do other things and have fun’.
