About UNIZONE UNIZONE is an e-motorsport competition certified by the Japan Automobile Federation (JAF), the governing body for motorsports in Japan, and organized by JeMO. It aims to build an ecosystem and competition pyramid for e-motorsport, not only creating a new sports culture but also planning official leagues and grassroots activities that appeal to existing motorsports and esports fans, as well as those who have had little interest in either. Through these activities, we aim to be a platform that conveys the wonder and enjoyment of cars and contributes to the future development of mobility.
