Evasive Motorsports 20th Anniversary Tee
Dai Yoshihara and Evasive Motorsports have been preparing for the 100th running of Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. This includes vigorous testing and some modifications and changes from last year’s setup on our Tesla Model 3.
During testing at Buttonwillow Raceway last week, Dai set a time of 1:49.50. Here’s in-car footage of that lap.
ENEOS ambassador Dai Yoshihara and partners Evasive Motorsports are definitely charged up for the 2022 motorsports season. The team is excited to get back into action and were busy in the off-season, preparing the Turn 14 Distribution / Toyo Tires / ENEOS / Evasive Motorsports Tesla Model 3 Pikes Peak race car to get it ready for the upcoming 100th anniversary of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb later this June.
With redemption at Pikes Peak a prime goal for 2022, Evasive decided to compete at the Global Time Attack Super Lap Battle event at Circuit of the Americas (COTA) to learn how the Tesla’s newest modifications would perform.

Watch in-car footage of Dai Yoshihara piloting the Evasive Motorsports Tesla Model 3 at Super Lap Battle 2022 at Circuit of the Americas, Feb 19, 2022. Dai Yoshihara completes his best lap time of 2:23.8 which is the current fastest Tesla Model 3 time done at COTA.
Just announced at Tokyo Auto Salon is the new forged mono block Volk Racing 21A wheel by RAYS. This is still in development, but will be released sometime summer of 2022. We’ll be sure to keep you updated on sizes and pricing once available. Stay tuned!
The Long Beach Grand Prix Circuit is known for its street layout, featuring long straights, 90-degree street turns, a tight U-turn and a roundabout–all in a single lap. The last time a time attack event was held at the LBGP was in 2008. Evasive Motorsports competed with the EVO IX during that event. This year, Global Time Attack brought the event back once again to the streets of Long Beach.
Debuted at SEMA 2018, the EVS2-V4 S2000 has since been the talk of the S2000 community. Featuring the visually-striking and race functional Voltex Circuit Version III Widebody kit, chassis-mounted wing, the S2000 is powered with a custom HKS GT Supercharged Toda Stroked 2.35L Motor. Since then, we’ve added Motorsport-Spec Air Jack System by AST Suspension to allow quicker setup adjustment. Stoptech Big Brakes have been added all around, and an Accusump System to prevent oil starvation and sudden oil pressure loss. Titan 7 wheels were swapped from our Tesla Model 3 project for a wider track.
Unfortunately, we experienced mechanical issues that weren’t able to be addressed during the event. Therefore, we weren’t quite as fast as we had hope, but we were able to clock a 1:30.196, placing us 4th in Unlimited class. The 3-day GTA event was still a great opportunity for us to shake down the car and record valuable data. We have already started on fixing the issues and look forward to competed at Super Lap Battle, the finals event for GTA in November.
