6 HOURS OFFUJI
Racing at the Foot of Mount Fuji — Where Japan's motorsport passion meets world-class endurance racing.
The History of Fuji
Japan's premier circuit at the foot of an icon
Fuji Speedway sits at the base of Mount Fuji, Japan's most iconic landmark. The circuit opened in 1966 and has hosted everything from Formula 1 to Super GT to the FIA World Endurance Championship.
The modern circuit features a 1.475 km main straight—one of the longest in motorsport—followed by a challenging series of corners that test car setup and driver skill. The backdrop of Mount Fuji creates one of the most scenic racing venues in the world.
The 6 Hours of Fuji joined the WEC calendar in 2012, becoming Toyota's home race. The Japanese manufacturer has dominated at Fuji, using the passionate home crowd support to fuel their endurance racing ambitions.
Japanese fans are among the most knowledgeable and passionate in motorsport. The Fuji atmosphere is electric, with tens of thousands of fans camping at the circuit and supporting their favorite teams through all six hours.
The race often features challenging weather— from autumn rain to the famous Fuji fog that can roll in from the mountain. These conditions add drama and unpredictability to an already exciting event.
