MotoGP™ Grand Prix of Japan

MotoGP™ Grand Prix of Japan
Sustainability Initiatives

The MotoGP™ Grand Prix of Japan held at Mobility Resort Motegi also works on creating value for the natural environment, local communities, and future generations.
With the theme of "circulation," it promotes the world’s most advanced sustainable Grand Prix management.

MotoGP™ Grand Prix of Japan

Trophy

The 2026 MotoGP™ trophy utilizes thinned wood produced through forest conservation activities at Motegi.
This initiative symbolizes the sustainability of the event by connecting resources born from the forest to the riders and then to the world.

Mobility Resort Motegi conserves about 65% of its 640-hectare site as forest,
and as a result of over 20 years of forest regeneration and management, more than 5,800 species have now been confirmed.
Utilizing the thinned wood nurtured in this place where rich nature and Motorsports coexist, we created the MotoGP™ trophy.
This project embodies the coexistence of natural resource circulation and biodiversity conservation through Motorsports.

Forest Circulation
  • Design Concept

    The design was created by JIN KURAMOTO STUDIO, led by product designer Jin Kuramoto.

    The pattern of the checkered flag, which signals the race winner, is embodied in a single circle that represents a wheel, a medal, and the cycle of the forest. For MotoGP™, Yamazakura wood with a dark color resembling gold is used, while for Moto2™ and Moto3™, bright and sturdy Shirakashi wood is used. Together with gold, silver, and bronze aluminum plates, these represent the class and ranking.

    The same "circular" concept is also carried on to the Idemitsu Moto4 Asia Cup, connecting the podiums of the four categories into one.

  • MotoGP™・Moto2™・Moto3™
    Trophy production connecting forest resources to the podium

    The production of a total of 12 trophies across 3 categories was undertaken by Karimoku Furniture, a wooden furniture manufacturer based in Higashiura Town, Aichi Prefecture. The “High-tech × High-touch” technique, which combines the precision of the latest woodworking machines with the tactile sense of craftsmen’s hands, elevated Hello Woods’ wood into a form of honor befitting the pinnacle of racing. The checkered flag, which serves as the face of the trophy, is created by extensively cutting the end grain to make it stand out.

    Each piece is finished one by one through woodworking machinery and the skilled hands of craftsmen, requiring high precision. The very process of reassessing the wood species while gauging the moisture content and doing the best according to the condition of the material is proof of craftsmanship that truly engages with natural wood.

  • Idemitsu Moto4 Asia Cup
    Trophy Workshop
    Created with Children

    On September 12, 2026, a workshop was held at Hello Woods with six participants from grades 3 to 5. They put into words what they felt while walking through the forest and, using an app developed by VUILD to manipulate onomatopoeic sliders, each person decided the shape of their trophy.

    Based on that data, VUILD’s digital carpenters crafted the trophies using Hello Woods’ oak wood. The six trophies, each uniquely shaped by the children, will be handed to the young Riders.

  • This project uses materials derived from Hello Woods, created during the forest cultivation process, to make the trophies, combining them with necessary materials as needed.

    In the first year, 2026, we selected materials based on characteristics such as the strength and moisture content of the wood. Moving forward, we aim to gradually expand the use of materials derived from Motegi over the course of several years.

    We do not consider this completion as the final goal; rather, we will take time to nurture the cycle between the forest and the trophies together with many people. We believe that the value of this project lies in that very process.
