* Click the photos to enlarge * Formula 2000 (1971) This is one of Yura's earliest work.This car design was inspired from aircrafts, so that kind of details can be seen in the styling.Asked by Masao ONO, "Just only I was so happy", Yura said, to design this car by passion and energy despite he did not know about what is the racing car like. * AUGUSUTA MK 3/FL500 (1972) This is a commercial FL500 sold by Racing Quarterly.The body work was made for a chassis designed by Kikuo KAIRA.The one in the photo has no rear cowl as this is a version for SUZUKI water-cooled engine with side radiators.The HONDA version for their air-cooled engine was exhibited at "the 3rd Tokyo Racing Car Show 1970". It looked more stylish dressed with fullbody-cowl up to the end. * TOKYO R&D/FJ1300 (1973) A work before the setup of Mooncraft.The characteristic wide body had HONDA CIVIC 1300cc engine placed transversely, and was structured to let cooling air-flow go through inside the twin tube monocoque up to the end.Designed from chassis to body cowl all by ourselves, advised on geometry etc. by　Masao ONO, the present president of TOKYO R&D. * BRABHAM BT36 modified./F2000 (1973) Noritake TAKAHARA's private order-made car.Remaining only the centre section of BT36F2, modified the nose from wing-type into sport-car nose.Fuji specialized spec, having full-covered rear cowl and long tail.The machine potential rose up dramatically by the aerodynamic improvement. * NOVA01/F2000 (1974) Due to chassis designer Kaira's request, this car was "anti-trend" car at the time with the front radiator/wing nose.The half-separated front screen was hinted of the latest jet fighter. Yura's entertaining design.

* NOVA02/F2000 (1975) NOVA's all-Japan-made F2000 car.This was a work tugged with Kaira. Again, he chose the front/wing style.The design was inspired from that age's fast car FERRARI312T, and it was called "Flying Alligator" from its unique appearance. * NOVA512/F2000 (1976) Minor changes on NOVA02.The NOVA02's wing nose, the outstanding point of the machine, was finally re-designed into the trend sport-car nose and showed good performance.In next 1975, a few cars were employed and raced on the circuit. * NOVA532/F2000 (1976) Minor changes on NOVA02. Chassis was basically the same as NOVA02's.Body design was changed into sport-car style and became one of the best car with good performance.It targeted especially at Fuji and Suzuka, having low-drag and low-downforce character, so it did not perform well on circuits in Europe at Kazuyoshi HOSHINO's European round. * NOVA513/FJ1600 (1976) The successor of NOVA01.Chassis and body cowl were both fully changed.Employed the conservative layout of side radiators and the triangle-shaped sport-car nose, it showed the excellent balance and led Satoru NAKAJIMA's all-winning history later on. * KE007＆KE009/F1 (1976) Original F1 machine from Japanese private team.Yura's body cowl was put on the chassis designed by Kaira and Ono.At Fuji F1, this car made an unbelievable episode. It showed scaring potential, but unfortunately crashed. However the car came back on the circuit next day. The crashed chassis was totally re-constructed only over a night!More refined next year, KE007 was innovated into the round-shape KE009. Takahara, Hoshino and a few other drivers raced at Fuji Japanese F1 with this KE009. * Luna Nuova/FL500 (1976-77) Order-made FL500 car. The FL machine designed and manufactured by Takeshi SAWASHIMA on his own budget.Tempted to the attractive offer to drive this car, Yura made the body cowl for free of charge. Yura debuted the race at Fuji on the wheel of this car. * NIKI79/F2000 (1979) Mooncraft's first wing car for the order of Nico Nicole, the present president of ALPINA JAPAN.The body was mostly made with aluminum by Kaira's design.Mooncraft was in charge only of the centre cowl from nose top to rear cowl. * MC030/F3000 (1988) F3000 machine, made as a first step of the FOOTWORK's F1 project.As FOOTWORK's capital was injected in this year, the company name was changed into "FOOTWORK FORMULA".Raced with MARCH87, Aguri SUZUKI won the championship.MC030 was developed as its successor but ended up only test run.　MC031, innovated version of MC030, actually raced on circuit. * MC031/F3000 (1988) * MC040/F3000 (1988) * MC041/F3000 (1989) MC031 was minor-modified version of MC030.Due to changes in nose, wing, engine spec etc., the car was innovated quickly to MC040/041, however the monocoque chassis was basically unchanged.MC040 was employed for F3000 series abroad; Ukyo KATAYAMA and Dave SCOTT raced at European F3000 with MC040. F3000 series. * MC041B/F3000 (1990) Changed the company's name back to Mooncraft, got back to the start line again and started development of a completely bran-new machine MC050.Until its completion, raced with minor-changed MCS041B.Eiki MURAMATSU was unfortunately died in an accident during testing run, which quitted MC050 development. * LORA90/00/F3000 (1991) Despite of quitting the original machine, Racing F3000 was decided to continue with LE GARAGE COX.To employ our aerodynamic strength, the LORA dressed the original body, which was arranged around the side pontoon and the diffuser. The monocoque was kept unchanged. * MC060EL/F3000 (1992) This was the car developed alongside racing with LORA on circuit. Unveiled in December, it was tested by Naoki HATTORI at Suzuka. It was planned to race not come out.After all, the project was terminated by budget problem. * LORA MCS94/F3000 (1994) To improve the excellent LORA94's L/D more, hours and hours wind tunnel testings were conducted.Continued improving the tiny, fine things and developed the car patiently. * LORA MCS99/FN (1999) The two options, LORA and RAYNARD were given for us to choose at Formula Nippon in this year. We chose LORA and had a hard time.We did our best to catch up the others, modified as many parts as possible and made the fast LORA as it could be, but still could not beat RAYNARD.
