BMW & MINI Racing Committee (Management Office: Geomic Motorsports Inc. [Head Office: Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture, Representative Director: Wataru Morishita]) is pleased to announce that RD.2 (Rounds 3 & 4) of BMW & MINI Racing 2026 (hereafter, BMR.2026), titled "BMW & MINI Racing 2026 RD.2 Mobility Resort Motegi Supported by QUETTA GROUP," will be held for two days on April 25 (Sat.) and 26 (Sun.), 2026, at Mobility Resort Motegi (Motegi Town, Haga District, Tochigi Prefecture).
BMR.2026, as a "one-make race for BMW / MINI" that is stylish and sports-luxury, offers not only the thrill of racing but also numerous contents that transform spectating into an "experience." At RD.2, we will deliver the charm of motorsports in a more three-dimensional way through close-range experiences only available at the circuit, such as Grid Walks, which allow you to share the tension just before the final race, and Pit Tours, where you can step into the backstage of the pits.
Spectator Experience Content
● Grid Walk
This popular content allows attendees to enter the course just before the final race, a normally restricted area, and experience the racing cars lined up on the grid up close. You can feel the "on-site temperature" of the moments just before the start, the atmosphere as teams make final adjustments, and the expressions of drivers and mechanics. It's a special time where you can take home the "moment the race begins" from your own perspective, with a sense of presence conveyed even through photos and videos.
● Pit Tour
Visit the pits of the participating racing teams and observe the racing cars and mechanics at work up close. This content, which includes witnessing the work procedures and even talk sessions with racing drivers, allows you to experience "behind the scenes of racing participation" and is enjoyable for families and motorsports fans alike.
● Ambassador Photo Session
A photo session with the official event ambassadors who grace the event with their presence. This creates photogenic moments as a way to enjoy the circuit beyond just "driving." For the 2026 season, Ms. Erina Kitagawa and Ms. Saya Asakura have been appointed as the official event ambassadors.
● QUETTA GROUP
The QUETTA Group is a consortium of six companies operating as authorized BMW and MINI dealers across the North Kanto and Tohoku regions. Their mission is to create a stage for the "grand and irreplaceable lives" of people, including employees and customers, believing in the infinite possibilities of the world. Leveraging their expertise and on-site capabilities cultivated in the dealership business, they continuously participate in MINI CHALLENGE as TEAM QUETTA. They also organize parade runs for MINI users at Sports Land SUGO and Mobility Resort Motegi. Beyond just racing, they create opportunities for people to experience the unique enjoyment of MINI and the joy of connecting with others. They are committed to creating new value by channeling the passion, judgment, and execution honed through motorsports back into daily customer experiences and community connections.
