The goal of Circuit Challenger is to provide attractions that allow families, including young children, to experience the joy of "challenging" together.
There, the project was developed with the help of Takuma Sato, a racing driver and father of two, as the project advisor.

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".
