Akai Pegasus

"Red Pegasus"), is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Motoka Murakami.

Ken Akaba is a top-rank stock-car driver who was involved in a horrific accident, which killed 6 spectators.

He was badly hurt, but he survived and promised his younger sister that he would give up racing.

He goes to America to help his father develop a new Formula 1 racer, but in the testing the car runs at speeds that set records—so the pressure is on for him to return to racing, this time in the F-1 circuit.

The series was collected into fourteen tankōbon volumes published by Shogakukan from October 24, 1977 to January 24, 1980.
