From a press release issued by Moriwaki Racing:

MORIWAKI RACING Confirms an Entry with Tamaki Serizawa plus MD211VF in FIM 2003 Road Racing World Championship Series MotoGP Rd.13 “Gauloises” Pacific Grand-Prix MOTEGI

This is to officially announce that Moriwaki Engineering Ltd. will take part in FIM 2003 Road Racing World Championship Series (stated as “MotoGP” hereunder) Rd.13 “Gauloises” Pacific Grand-Prix as a “Wild Card” on 3rd – 5th Oct 2003.

Bringing in an originally developed MotoGP machine, MD211VF (Moriwaki Dream 211V Fighter), which carries “Honda RC211V” (MotoGP Champion Machine) V5 engine, Tamaki Serizawa (#25), who is a R&D rider of MD211VF, is selected to ride in the race. The team is declared as “Moriwaki Racing” and Mamoru Moriwaki, Representative Director of Moriwaki Engineering Ltd., will stand as the team director.

The purpose of Moriwaki Racing’s entry in Pacific Grand-Prix will be focused on a full season entry in 2004, which differs from the intensions of our spot entry in the opening round, Suzuka 2003. Focusing a full season entry in 2004, the purpose of the entry is specifically to review the development works done to the machine and to simulate it’s competitiveness in an actual race meeting. We, therefore, target and challenge to finish the race in the highest position possible, cutting into the factory machines.

Mamoru Moriwaki / Team Director
“We experienced a drastic improvement in the MOTEGI test a few weeks ago. The fact that the machine had overcome the focused problems, it proved that the development work put into planned and studied on the previous test is heading the right direction. Looking at the project as a whole, there still is a lot to be done before it is ready, yet we will keep on trying to solve the problems before the Pacific Grand-Prix to challenge MotoGP and accomplish the goals. This challenge is for us to appear in the 2004 series and we will look forward for the race”.
