PICKUP! If it’s your first time watching SUPER GT, we recommend the Victory Stand (V Seat)!
If you’re unsure which ticket to choose, we recommend the V Seat first. The V Seat is a stand that stretches from the final corner to the first corner, where you can closely enjoy iconic moments of the event such as the tension before the start, the speed rushing down the home straight, and the braking at the first corner.
Since the highlights differ for each block, before purchasing, try choosing your seat based on the scenes you want to focus on, such as "wanting to see the start," "wanting to see the battle at Turn 1," or "wanting to see the pits and podium." You can also check the race developments in areas not visible from the spectator seats on the main screen.
Near the V seats, a Hospitality Garden featuring food trucks and a covered rest area will also be available. Being able to eat and take breaks between races is another recommended point for first-time spectators.
PICKUP! If you want to enjoy changing your viewing spots, choose the "General Admission Ticket"
You can enjoy the race from multiple free viewing areas, including from 130R to the V-corner and the downhill straight where the highest speeds are recorded. Instead of just watching carefully from the same spot, we also recommend changing your viewing location between Saturday and Sunday to compare how the machines look and sound.
PICKUP! If you are 16 to 23 years old, the "16-23 ZERO Yen Pass"
Race viewing and park attractions are free for 2 days!
Eligible persons can enjoy two days of free admission to watch SUPER GT in the unreserved seating area, entry to Mobility Resort Motegi, and access to park attractions. It is also recommended for friends going to see SUPER GT for the first time.

PICKUP! Check out the comfortable 'Reserved Seats' too!
The “A Seat” is also recommended for enjoying the venue with your family!
The A Seat is located in front of the home straight and pits, allowing you to watch the entire course and the big screen. It is close to the central entrance area and provides easy access to the park, Hello Woods, and restaurants, making it ideal for those with children or who want to explore the venue.
If you want to see the thrill of speed and braking, choose the "G Seats and Z Seats"
The G Seats and Z Seats are reserved seats where you can enjoy the powerful driving of machines passing through a 90-degree corner. Watch closely as the machines brake sharply and accelerate out of the corner after decelerating rapidly from the long straight.
The Z seats have a special vision screen where you can also check the overall progress of the race. Since the G seats do not have a special vision screen, they are suitable for those who want to focus on the driving and sound right in front of them.
If you want to overlook from 130R to the V corner, choose the "V Corner Seats"
This is a reserved seat with a wide view from 130R to the V-shaped corner. You can enjoy the movements of the machines heading into the corner and the tactical battles as they approach the car ahead, looking for overtaking opportunities. You can also check the overall race situation on the special vision screen.

NEW! For a front-row view of the battle at Turn 5, choose the "T5 (Turn Five) Deck"

Recommended Items & Attire
Watching in your favorite style is best, but if you’re unsure about attire or items,
please use this as a reference!
-
① Hat
A wide-brimmed hat or cap is essential to protect against the sun. For heatstroke prevention, breathable materials are recommended. It is also important to choose one with a snug fit that won’t easily be blown away by the wind.
-
② Bag
Backpacks or sacoche bags that free up your hands are convenient in the viewing area. Choosing a lightweight, body-fitting type makes it comfortable to move around, and it’s easier to manage valuables. Waterproof ones provide extra peace of mind in case of sudden showers.
-
③ Bottoms
Stretch pants that are easy to move in even after sitting for long periods, or pants with good breathability, are recommended. Since the circuit has many paved roads, it’s better to choose a length that can protect your knees just in case.
-
④ Shoes
Since you will be walking long distances, wear familiar sneakers or trekking shoes. Because the asphalt can get hot and you may have to walk through crowds, sandals are not recommended.
-
① Mobile BatteryWhen watching for long hours, you might worry about your smartphone’s battery running low. Bringing a spare battery will give you peace of mind.
-
② Long-Sleeved OuterwearIn autumn, mornings and evenings can get chilly, so it’s convenient to have one long-sleeved outerwear that you can put on according to the temperature.
-
③ Binoculars / Opera GlassesIf you want to get a closer look at the machines or pit work, don’t forget your binoculars or opera glasses!
-
④ Raincoat / PonchoBe 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.

⑤ Plastic BagsThey 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.
-
⑥ Seat CushionIf you will be sitting for a long time to watch, a seat cushion will make it more comfortable. It is especially a must-have for unreserved seating.

⑦ TowelAn 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.
-
⑧ SunscreenSince the sun can be strong even in autumn, be sure to apply sunscreen thoroughly before going out and during the race.
