Legge said: “I am beyond honored to be inducted into the Long Beach Motorsports Walk of Fame.

“My professional racing career started here in 2005, and that win on these iconic streets remains one of the best lifetime memories that I get to carry with me.

“We are honored to welcome Katherine Legge and Takuma Sato to the Long Beach Walk of Fame,” said Mayor Rex Richardson.

“Our Motorsports Walk of Fame serves as a lasting tribute to the legends who have left a memorable mark on Long Beach and the racing community.

“We look forward to celebrating their remarkable careers during the induction ceremony.”

“We are thrilled to recognize Katherine and Takuma for their outstanding contributions to the world of motorsports,” added First District Councilwoman Mary Zendejas.

“It is a true honor to have their accolades engraved on exquisite medallions embedded on the sidewalks of our beautiful downtown shoreline, which will be seen by racing fans from all over world for many years to come.”

Vice Mayor and Second District Councilwoman Cindy Allen said: “What a privilege it is to present Katherine and Takuma with this prestigious honor.

“Their achievements on and off the track have inspired countless individuals to pursue their dreams and the world a better place. We wish them much continued success on all their future endeavors.”
