Hara will probably stick with Yokomo in the long run for several reasons. The company is owned and operated in his home country and there's a sense of national pride to fulfill. He can easily communicate with his new top Japanese mechanic, and other Japanese teammates with ease. Also, I think there an agenda to break Tamiya's IFMAR worlds winning streak.
