HYPER WATER INGING GR86 GT
Murfield Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture; Representative Director: Hiroshi Ikeda; hereinafter "Murfield") participated in the SUPER GT 2026 Round 2 (Fuji Speedway) as "HYPER WATER Racing INGING," which Murfield sponsors, in the GT300 class.
This race was contested based on the distance covered within a 3-hour period, making not only speed but also efficient driving and strategy crucial for the outcome. The result demonstrated that "efficiency" directly translates to competitiveness.
■ Race Overview
SUPER GT 2026 Round 2 was held from May 3rd to 4th, 2026, at Fuji Speedway in Shizuoka Prefecture, a circuit characterized by one of Japan's longest straights, approximately 1.5 km. While top speed often garners attention, the circuit also features medium-to-high-speed corners and technical sections, requiring efficient driving throughout the race.
"HYPER WATER Racing INGING" competed in the GT300 class with a Toyota GR86 GT. The two drivers were Yui Tsutsumi and Kazuhisa Urabe.
Starting from the 17th grid in the middle of the pack due to qualifying results, driver Urabe steadily gained positions by making precise line choices amidst the crowded early stages. Driver Tsutsumi, who encountered a vehicle startup issue, calmly recovered and successfully returned to the track. The team demonstrated efficient race management overall, including strategic driver changes and stable pit work, ultimately finishing 5th after overtaking 12 cars.

Although top speed tends to be the focus at this circuit due to its iconic straight, in reality, every decision, such as braking, tire management, and pit strategy, accumulates and influences the overall flow of the race. It is no exaggeration to say that the pursuit of "efficiency" through making optimal choices under limited conditions directly led to competitiveness.
Murfield's car wash ultra-pure water system, "HYPER WATER," also reduces operational losses at car wash sites and supports stable quality and efficient operations.
■ "HYPER WATER" Supports Car Wash Efficiency
"HYPER WATER" is a dedicated car wash system that produces ultra-pure water by removing impurities that cause water spots after washing. By eliminating the wiping process, it shortens car wash time and achieves a consistent finish regardless of the operator's skill. It simultaneously achieves operational efficiency and improved car wash quality.
Furthermore, the flagship model, the "HW-P series," visualizes operating status through real-time remote monitoring, enabling early detection of abnormalities. In addition, by collaborating with a support network of 60 locations nationwide, it supports stable operation that keeps daily car wash operations running without interruption.
Moving forward, "HYPER WATER" will continue to contribute to the efficiency and quality improvement of car wash sites as an infrastructure that supports car wash operations less affected by human resources and environmental conditions.
The top-tier HW-P series
Equipped with remote monitoring, it allows for quick grasp of situations in case of trouble. It also boasts a high processing capacity, capable of producing ultra-pure water for up to 500 cars per day, making it suitable for sites with high-volume car washing needs.
■ Round 3 Postponed, Next Race in August at Fuji Speedway
On April 8, 2026, GT Association Co., Ltd., which promotes SUPER GT, and HARO Sports & Entertainment Sdn.Bhd., the local promoter for Round 3 in Malaysia, jointly announced the postponement of Round 3, which was scheduled for June 20-21 at Sepang International Circuit (Malaysia). This decision was made "as a result of a comprehensive assessment of the current global situation, including the worsening situation in the Middle East and uncertain circumstances." Please refer to the official announcement for details.
Consequently, the next opportunity to see "HYPER WATER Racing INGING" in action will be at SUPER GT 2026 Round 4, scheduled for August 1-2 at Fuji Speedway (Shizuoka Prefecture).
Murfield will continue to communicate the professionalism honed in the demanding environment of motorsports and the underlying value of its "HYPER WATER" car wash ultra-pure water system through each SUPER GT race.
