Mr. Yojiro Terada, well known as Mr. Le Mans, managing director of AutoExe Inc. and an ex-Mazda factory racing driver, gave his message to victims of the "2011 Pacific Coast Tohoku Region Earthquake."

"Please accept sympathy from the bottom of my heart to all the victims of this severe disaster. It is unendurable when I think so many people are facing such inconvenience and a lack of comfort everyday by this unexpected incident that has swept everything away.

"However, we cannot remain despondent. I hope that everybody will start to recover as soon as possible. I believe all of you have sufficient strength to overcome this situation. It will take a long time, but I pray sincerely that it will be resolved completely."

I put my hands together in prayer.
Do your best, Tohoku!!
Do your best, Japan!
