What you should know before you go
Thursday is the circuit’s drift-or-gymkhana day and the two alternate week by week, so check which it is before travelling — in October the drift Thursdays are the 1st, 15th and 29th, and the 8th and 22nd are gymkhana. Cars run road-registered as they are. Phone booking only, Japanese only, from one month ahead to 17:00 the day before, and they need every driver’s full name. First-timers must sit a briefing.
