Beim 8h Suzuka 2018 sind 64 Teams am Start
Wie jedes Jahr ist die Teilnehmerliste vom legendären 8h Suzuka gespickt mit bekannten Namen. Im Mittelpunkt in diesem Jahr steht sicher Superbike-Überflieger Jonathan Rea, der nach seinem ersten Suzuka-Sieg 2012 mit Honda, nun auch Kawasaki zum ersten Gewinn des prestigeträchtigen Rennen seit 25 Jahren verhelfen will.
Für das Yamaha-Werksteam kämpfen die Werkspiloten Alex Lowes und Michael van der Mark um den Sieg. Im Red Bull Honda-Werksteam ist ein Platz vakant, nachdem sich Leon Camier bei Testfahrten verletzte. Im HRC-Team fährt mit Takaaki Nakagami ein aktueller MotoGP-Pilot.
Deutschland ist beim 8h Suzuka ein Exot. Es sind zwar neun BMW-Teams am Start, mit Marvon Fritz (Yamaha Austria Racing) und Jan Viehmann (Motobox Kremer) aber nur zwei Deutsche, die beide Yamaha fahren. Bei Motobox Kremer fährt mit Christopher Kemmer auch der einzige Österreicher. Die Schweiz ist mit Dominique Aegerter (MuSashi Honda) sowie mit Roman Stamm, Robin Mulhauser und Sebastien Suchet bei Bolliger Kawasaki vertreten.
