  • Kojima Engineering was a Japanese Formula One constructor who entered cars in the Japanese Grand Prix in 1976 and 1977. The team was founded in 1976 by Matsuhisa Kojima. Kojima had made a fortune importing bananas, and was a motor-racing enthusiast, having ridden in Motocross himself in the 1960s. He began entering Formula Two cars in Japan, and struck a deal with Dunlop to supply tyres for the 1976 Japanese Grand Prix. To go with these, the company constructed the KE007 chassis, and brought on several staff from the Maki team. They helped arrange an entry for the Grand Prix at Fuji, and a Cosworth DFV engine. The car was tested throughout the Autumn of 1976, with Masahiro Hasemi, a Japanese Formula 2 driver, at the wheel. Hasemi then scored a huge stir at the Japanese Grand Prix, posting 4th best time in the first qualifying session. However, he crashed in the second session, and the car had to be rebuilt virtually from scratch. Hasemi started 10th, and ran superbly before tyre trouble led to an eventual 11th place. He was credited with fastest lap, but since then there have been questions raised over the accuracy of this. A planned entry into the 1977 South American races didn't emerge, but the team built a new Kojima KE009 for the 1977 Japanese Grand Prix. Bridgestone this time supplied the tyres, but these were unsatisfactory, and Noritake Takahara started only 19th before crashing avoiding debris. The old KE007 was entered by Heros Racing for the same race, Kazuyoshi Hoshino starting and finishing 11th. Kojima continued as an F2 entrant until the late 1980s, but never ventured beyond domestic racing.
  • Kojima war ein 1976 und 1977 in der Formel 1 aktiver Rennstall. In beiden Jahren startete das Team ausschließlich beim Japan-Grand-Prix in Fuji. 1976 ging das Team mit nur einem Fahrer an den Start. Beim letzten Saisonrennen in japanischen Fuji startete der Japaner Masahiro Hasemi im Ford-Cosworth DFV getriebenen Kojima KE007 von Startplatz 10 und wurde im Regenchaos Elfter. Die schnellste Rennrunde ging in diesem Rennen ebenfalls an Hasemi, allerdings war seine Zeit auch die einzige gewertete Rundenzeit des Rennens. Im Jahr darauf setzte Kojima Noritake Takahara ein. Ebenfalls mit dem V8-Motor von Ford-Cosworth im Heck, startete der Japaner in einem Kojima KE009 und konnte vom 19. Startplatz aus das Rennen aufgrund eines Unfalls nicht beenden. Die Heros Racing Corporation setzte ebenfalls ein baugleiches Fahrzeug im selben Rennen ein. Kazuyoshi Hoshino beendete das Rennen von Platz elf gestartet auf dem elften Rang. Nach 1977 trat das Team in de Formel 1 nicht mehr in Erscheinung, war aber noch bis in die Achtziger in der japanischen Formel 2 am Start.
