About Autopolis
Getting there: Mountain GP circuit in Kamitsue, Hita, Oita. The official FAQ is explicit: shuttle buses run from Kumamoto city and Hita city only when a big event is on, and at all other times you come by car or taxi (no station, no route bus, no timetable published). Nearest interchanges per the FAQ: Ueki, Kumamoto and Kikusui (Kyushu Expressway), Hita (Oita Expressway). There IS a petrol station inside the grounds; the nearest one outside the gate is 14 km away
