"With you Japan" Charity Auction on the "Minnano Charity" Yahoo Auction Page

May 7, 2013

Takuma Sato made history as he became the first Japanese driver to win an IndyCar race at the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach, the third race of the season, on April 21, 2013. Now, he has decided to autograph and auction the "With you Japan" charity helmet he wore during the INDY 500 last year where his bold and fierce race grabbed media attention and increased his popularity in the United States.


T-shirts that were specially designed, based on the "With you Japan" helmet design, will also be auctioned off along with his autographed charity helmet.
