==Partnership with Formula Asia==
==Involvement of Formula Asia==


Following the success of the Motegi 500 oval race, it was announced that future events from 2000 will be partnered with Formula Asia. The partnership was an attempt to deliver more Asian talent and to diversify the grid with drivers from different Asian countries including those who are regulars in Formula Asia. This was welcomed by the Formula Asia board who stated that partnering with a Japanese racing event would be a boost to the Asian drivers looking to develop their careers further.
2000 became the start of a new chapter when Formula Asia began expressing interest in their involvement at the 2000 Motegi 500KM. Following discussions with Formula Nippon since early 1999, a number of teams from Formula Asia began entering, including Hunnisett Racing who entered FA 1998 champ Ben Walsh alongside Alex Yoong, who would later race for Team LeMans in the 2000 Formula Nippon Season. Formula Asia was also responding for the funding of the teams entries.
