The Motor Fan Festa 2026 Executive Committee (located within Sanei Co., Ltd., Shinjuku, Tokyo) held the 'Shin Motor Fan Festa 2026 in Fuji Speedway' on Sunday, April 19, 2026, attracting a record-breaking 35,828 visitors.

Celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2026, this event was completely reborn with the new name 'Shin' (meaning 'New' or 'Neo'). Built around five major content pillars—the 'New Car Test Drive Event,' 'Super Grid Walk,' 'JDM Chronicle,' 'D1GP Exhibition Match Round Zero,' and 'Supercar/Racing Car Demo Run'—it also featured new additions like 'THE CLASSIC,' an exhibition run of 1960-70s classic racers. The racing course resonated with the roar of both modern and historic racing cars, including the legendary Williams FW11 F1 machine, captivating car enthusiasts and families alike.

In the paddock and pits, over 100 exhibitors set up booths to welcome visitors. The event was further energized by demo car test rides, displays of customized cars, sales of various parts and merchandise, as well as talk shows and attractions on stage.
