From Takuma's Management team - posted on this website's forum... 

"This will be a short post, we have to run to the airport immediately after the media scrums..........
All I need to say is that there are tears here in the garage, both Taku and Sakon were given a heroes welcome on returning to the garage, it almost feels like a win, Taku and Aguri had a huge hug, Yasukawa san from Bridgestone sprayed champagne over Taku and so on and so on......

This is the perfect way to finish the year, we thought Suzuka was a good one, today surpassed everything we hoped for........

This is the most emotional day for everyone here.........the team did not even exist 12 months ago...............

What a day, what a race, what a year!!

Best regards and many thanks to everyone for all the unswerving support and encouragement.

Taku Management"
