Webike Operator River Crane Establishes Guest Lounge at Suzuka 8 Hours Paddock! A Place for Domestic and International Stakeholders to Connect

River Crane Co., Ltd. operated a guest lounge for business partners and event officials at the "Suzuka 8 Hours Endurance Road Race" held at Suzuka Circuit in Mie Prefecture on July 4th and 5th, 2026. As an official partner of the FIM World Endurance Championship (EWC), they provided a comfortable viewing environment for guests from Japan and abroad.

Lounge set up in the paddock, comfortable viewing of the intense competition on 6 large monitors

The Suzuka 8 Hours, one of Japan's largest motorcycle races and a round of the FIM World Endurance Championship (FIM EWC), was held. River Crane established a dedicated lounge within the paddock area to entertain guests from Japan and abroad at this world endurance championship event.

Inside the lounge, a variety of drinks, including alcoholic beverages, and light meals were served. Furthermore, six large monitors were installed to ensure comfortable viewing of the long endurance race. This created a comfortable space where guests could constantly check real-time race footage from the course and monitor the changing standings.

Fostering Cross-Industry Exchange and the Development of Motorcycle Culture

Half of the venue for this lounge was designated as the "Webike Lounge" for River Crane's business partners, while the other half served as the guest lounge for Endurance Moto Promoter (EMP), the promoter of the FIM EWC. In addition to entertaining its own guests, River Crane was entrusted by EMP to manage the entire lounge operations, including hosting invited guests.

Many officials from Japan and abroad attended the event, enjoying the race while also engaging in active information exchange among companies and individuals involved in the motorcycle industry. It served as a platform for cross-industry exchange and a valuable opportunity to express gratitude to the business partners who support their daily operations.

Webike, operated by River Crane Co., Ltd., will continue its support for the FIM EWC, which includes the Suzuka 8 Hours, the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and the Bol d'Or 24 Hours. Through supporting domestic and international races, they aim to promote the appeal of motorcycle racing and contribute to the further development of motorcycle culture.
