Concept of "JOY TAI"
At Mobility Resort Motegi, with the cooperation and support of all participants and related parties, the Motegi Enjoy Endurance Race (commonly known as "JOY TAI") will be held for the 24th time this year.
Now, as "JOY TAI" enters its 25th year, we wanted to allow more people to enjoy endurance racing. Therefore, in addition to "JOY TAI", we have been holding the "Motegi Enjoy Mini Endurance Race (commonly known as: 'Mini JOY TAI')" as an introductory mini endurance race since 2012.
