Coretech Inc. (headquartered in Meguro-ku, Tokyo) is pleased to announce that two new members, Kiyona Sakamoto and Kazuho Iwata, have joined the e-Motorsports division of its global esports team, REIGNITE.
REIGNITE has officially confirmed its participation in the Grand Prix Series of the '2026 AUTOBACS JEGT Supported by GRAN TURISMO,' the highest level of domestic Gran Turismo competition, starting this season.
After a full year of activities last season, our existing team members have steadily improved their skills and performance.
With the addition of these two reliable new teammates, we believe we have established a solid and competitive foundation for challenging the highest tier of the scene.
Although we are transitioning from the Challenge League to the even more demanding Grand Prix Series, we have been strategically preparing for Grand Prix-level competition since last year.
While we remain challengers, we will strive to win every race ahead.
We sincerely appreciate your continued support and encouragement.
