The stage of Mobility Resort Motegi (the competition course) is the 'Road Course' where many races, including the World Championship, are held.
The 'Ene-1 MOTEGI GP' was held on the 'Oval Course' until 2020, and from 2021 it has been held on the 'Road Course (West Course)', but in 2024 it will be held on a special course running in reverse on the 'Road Course (Full Course)'.
The 'Road Course' is 4.8 km long, and in its original forward direction, it features a course layout known as 'Stop & Go' with repeated deceleration, turning, and acceleration. In 2024, the event will be held in reverse direction, transforming the 'Downhill Straight' into an 'Uphill' section, requiring more power from the vehicles.
After reaching the top of the uphill straight, the section from the 'Hairpin Curve' to '130R' will be downhill. To navigate each corner at high speed, it is crucial to have strong braking performance for proper deceleration and to drive along the ideal racing line.
With no past data available, the 2024 Ene-1 has become an even more challenging course layout for drivers and mechanics. It continues to evolve as a venue that combines the aspects of a sport, competing in both 'Energy Management' and 'Speed'.
