Experience the high-speed drama of endurance racing at Fuji International Speedway, a world-renowned circuit nestled at the base of Japan’s most iconic mountain. With its signature 1.5 km main straight and a mix of tight corners and flowing sections, Fuji tests both engine power and driver finesse. This track has hosted everything from WEC to legendary Japanese touring car battles, making it a sacred ground for motorsport fans. Our artwork captures Fuji’s unique layout in both day and night modes, allowing you to relive the misty morning starts or the glowing drama under the floodlights.

Built in 1965 and originally intended as a NASCAR-style oval, Fuji International Speedway evolved into one of Japan’s premier road circuits. Its scenic location in Oyama, Shizuoka Prefecture, with Mount Fuji looming in the background, creates a breathtaking contrast between raw motorsport and natural beauty. Now a staple on the World Endurance Championship (WEC) calendar, Fuji has a reputation for unpredictable weather, dramatic racing, and a loyal fan base.

Fuji is known for its unpredictable weather, especially sudden rain and fog rolling in from Mount Fuji. The extreme straight-line speeds are followed by tight, technical sectors, forcing teams to compromise on car setup. The long straight is brutal on engines and brakes, while the twisty mid-section challenges consistency over long stints. Pit strategy becomes a game of anticipating weather rather than just tire wear.

- 1983: The Fuji 1000 km becomes a cult classic, featuring Group C machines like the Porsche 956 and Toyota 83C.
- 1992: The All Japan Sports Prototype Championship concludes its final race at Fuji before the WEC era.
- 2012: Fuji rejoins the FIA WEC calendar, marking Toyota’s homecoming to international endurance racing.
- 2013–2019: Toyota Gazoo Racing dominates its home track, turning Fuji into a fortress of hybrid-powered success.
- 2019: The TS050 Hybrid sets a blistering lap record as Toyota sweeps the podium.

Fuji represents the intersection of Japanese precision and global endurance tradition. As Toyota’s home track, it's a proving ground for hybrid technology and a symbol of Japan’s motorsport pride. The event draws tens of thousands of fans annually, despite frequent rain and fog conditions that have become part of Fuji’s identity. It's also one of the few endurance venues where fans are as invested in the machines as they are in the drivers, thanks to Japan’s rich tuner and racing culture.

- Built in the shadow of Mount Fuji, the track offers one of the most scenic backdrops in all of motorsport.
- The original layout was intended to be a high-speed banked oval, one of the few in Japan, but it was reconfigured into a road course after funding issues.
- Toyota owns the circuit and uses it as a primary test facility for its performance and hybrid racing programs.
- Fuji is infamous for rapidly changing weather, often seeing sunshine, rain, and fog all within the same race session.
- The track has appeared in several Gran Turismo video games and was even featured in the movie Fast & Furious: Tokyo Drift (briefly during the drift montage).
- The main straight is so long that LMP1 cars have reached speeds over 330 km/h (205 mph) before heavy braking into Turn 1.
- In 2013, the WEC race was red-flagged after only 16 laps due to torrential rain, becoming one of the shortest endurance races ever held.
- Fuji hosted Japan’s last Formula One Grand Prix in 2008, after which the event returned to Suzuka due to fan and logistical preference.

Whether it's the atmosphere, the backdrop, or the engineering marvels on track, Fuji delivers a full sensory experience. The sheer speed on the straight, the risk of racing in the rain, and the passionate Japanese crowd create a unique race-day vibe. For fans of both technology and tradition, Fuji is the spiritual home of endurance racing in Asia.

- Best Viewing Points: Grandstands at Turn 1, 100R, and the final Panasonic corner provide action-packed views.
- When to Visit: The WEC event typically takes place in early fall (September or October), when weather conditions are cooler but still unpredictable.
- How to Get There: Fuji is accessible via Shinkansen to Odawara Station, then by bus or taxi to the circuit grounds.
- Nearby Attractions: Mount Fuji hiking trails, Hakone hot springs, and the Fuji-Q Highland amusement park make for a full motorsports getaway.

Fuji’s legend is built on its blend of brutal power and delicate precision. It hosted some of the most famous Group C duels in the 1980s, ushered in the modern hybrid era with Toyota, and is forever etched in endurance history for its spectacular scenery and unpredictable drama. The contrast of roaring prototypes beneath a serene Mount Fuji skyline has created an emotional connection for fans around the world.
