What is Formula 1 if not just very fast, mechanical horse racing? Surely I'm not the only one who has asked that question, especially considering the Japanese Grand Prix leg of the 2027 F1 World Championship has just revealed that Cygame's horse girl gacha Umamusume: Pretty Derby has become a founding partner.
What does that mean in practice? Well, according to a press release, founding partners are "the highest tier supporters of the F1 Japanese Grand Prix," where they "bring additional value to the event while helping to shape the direction of its growth. Through marketing, promotional activities, and creating new experiences for fans, Umamusume will continue contributing to the long term growth of the Japanese Grand Prix."
