The Mie Branch of JAF (Japan Automobile Federation), led by Branch Manager Hisashi Kawakita, will hold the 'JAF Day in Suzuka Circuit Circuit Cruise' on Friday, July 17th, at the Suzuka Circuit in Suzuka City.
This event is held regularly and is highly popular, consistently receiving more applications than the capacity. Its purpose is to foster camaraderie among JAF members and make motorsports more accessible. At the famous Suzuka Circuit, home to the F1 Japanese Grand Prix and the 8 Hours Endurance Road Race, participants can enjoy a commemorative photo on the home straight and then drive two laps of the full course (5.807km) in their own cars, led by a marshal car.
Since any four-wheeled vehicle is welcome, not just sports cars, many participate not only as motorsports fans but also with their families. Past participants have shared feedback such as, 'It was a great memory to be able to drive my own car on Suzuka Circuit' and 'My children who rode with me were very happy.'
