2&4 Race Viewing Guide
The 2&4 Race is an event where the country's top-level 2 wheels (All Japan Road Race) and
4 wheels (Super Formula) races are held.
Since the races are held at the same venue but at different times,
you can easily compare the different atmospheres by saying, "On this day, I’ll watch the car race, and next, I’ll watch the bike race."
The timing when 2 wheels and 4 wheels races are held on the same weekend and at the same location is only at
Mobility Resort Motegi. It is a very rare opportunity.
The event is held at Mobility Resort Motegi.
Between races, you can not only stroll around the park,
but also enjoy activities and dining within the park,
fully enjoy all of Mobility Resort Motegi,
and then return to watch the races again—this way of spending time is also perfectly fine!
Furthermore, this year, Enjoy Honda 2026 will also be held on the same day.
In addition to various Honda cars and motorcycles on display and interactive content,
there are plenty of attractions beyond Motorsports.
The event is enjoyable not only for race fans but also for families and friends visiting together.
The 2&4 Race held at Mobility Resort Motegi features both of Japan's top-tier motorsports,
offering overwhelming excitement with speeds and sounds you can't experience in everyday life,
even if you don't know the detailed rules of the races.
The All-Japan Super Formula Championship (SUPER FORMULA), with top speeds exceeding 300 km/h, is the highest level and fastest formula car racing series in Japan.
The machines competing in the race are designed to resemble F1 cars, the pinnacle of Motorsports. Because of this, they may feel less familiar. While SUPER GT features machines that race with styling similar to production cars, making it feel more relatable, SUPER FORMULA offers a different kind of excitement.
Also, Super Formula is the second fastest race after F1. A notable feature is that the "Super License" required to drive an F1 car can be obtained in as little as two years, and it has produced renowned F1 drivers active worldwide, such as Pierre Gasly and Liam Lawson.
The 2&4 Race, held as the season opener attracting attention from around the world, takes place on the stage of Mobility Resort Motegi. Drivers who may go on to succeed in F1 in the future might be racing here.
A characteristic of the machines competing in Super Formula is that there are no performance differences in tires or engines (equal conditions). Therefore, the drivers' skills in braking, accelerating, and timing overtakes determine the outcome of the race.
Other highlights include the strategic use of the acceleration device called the "Overtake System (OTS)," which boosts power by about 50 horsepower at the push of a button, and the pit work where the team changes tires and sends the car back onto the course as quickly as possible, even by a second.
The team works together as one to devise strategies so they can receive the checkered flag ahead of other machines.

Furthermore, recognized for his racing achievements in Japan and his performance on site, he has also been competing in the North American IMSA series since 2025. He is steadily building experience both domestically and internationally.



After honing his skills in karting, he has built up experience mainly in formula racing and has been competing in SUPER FORMULA since 2019. In recent years, he has participated in more races fighting at the top, finishing 4th in the series in the 2025 season.
He has a clear track record at Motegi, having won at Mobility Resort Motegi in 2024. Furthermore, he also won Round 3 held at Mobility Resort Motegi in 2025. In recent years at Motegi, he has consistently been involved in the fight for victory on race weekends, and expectations are high for him to be among the contenders again in 2026.
Additionally, he has a history of winning the series title in SUPER GT (GT500), and his ability to consistently secure victories throughout the season is also a strong asset.



He graduated at the top of his class from the Suzuka Circuit Racing School Formula (SRS-F, now HRS-Suzuka) in 2008 and has built his career over a long period since then. He has been competing in Super Formula since 2014 and continues to fight among the top contenders.
A major highlight is winning the series championship in 2021 and 2022. Achieving the title of annual champion for two consecutive years demonstrates the strength to win consistently throughout the season.
Additionally, at Motegi in 2024, he secured a 3rd place podium finish. Although he ranked 5th in 2025, his race management and adaptability backed by experience remain intact, making his performance in the top tier a focus of attention in 2026 as well.

Even in spring, there are days with strong sunlight, so a hat is a must-have item.
Wide-brimmed hats are especially recommended!
A backpack that leaves both hands free is recommended!
Also, having a shoulder bag or waist pouch that makes it easy to take out your smartphone and wallet is even more convenient.
Choose a coordination that prioritizes ease of walking, such as pants styles. For sun protection, items with less skin exposure are better.
Since you may walk quite a distance, it’s important to choose shoes you are accustomed to wearing. If there is a chance of rain, waterproof shoes will give you peace of mind.

When watching for long hours, you might worry about your smartphone’s battery running low. Bringing a spare battery will give you peace of mind.

Since spring mornings and evenings can be chilly, it’s convenient to have one long-sleeved layer to put on according to the temperature.

If you want to get a closer look at the machines or pit work, don’t forget your binoculars or opera glasses!

Be sure to bring rain gear in case it rains. Umbrellas can be a nuisance to those around you, so raincoats or ponchos are recommended. Even if the weather forecast says it will be sunny, it’s best to have one just in case.

They are useful for storing towels or clothes that have gotten wet from sweat or rain. Having several large, sturdy plastic bags on hand is convenient as they can be used for various other purposes as well.

If you plan to watch for long periods while sitting, a seat cushion will make it more comfortable.

An essential item for wiping away sweat or rainwater on rainy days. A larger towel can also be useful as a sunshade to block sunlight or as a cold-weather accessory.

Since the sun can be strong even in spring, be sure to apply sunscreen thoroughly before going out and during the race.

Mobility Resort Motegi has some cashless stores, but since communication may become unstable at events with large crowds, it’s best to carry some cash just in case.

At Mobility Resort Motegi, you can listen to the on-site live commentary FM (80.9 MHz), so if you have a radio with earphones, you can clearly follow the race from anywhere.
