Comment from Takuma Sato
We have made efforts to ensure that everyone, from small children to adults, can enjoy themselves in a casual and authentic manner.
Unlike traditional go-karts, the focus of this attraction is on tuning the motor's power through shifting and steering, in order to achieve the best performance. I believe you will feel the excitement of challenging the entire attraction. It truly is the "Circuit Challenger".
