Fuji Speedway

Fuji Speedway (富士スピードウェイ, Fuji Supīdowei) is a motorsport race track standing in the eastern foothills of Mount Fuji, in Oyama, Suntō District, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. Originally conceived as an American-style superspeedway, it was completed as a road course and opened in January 1966.

In 1976, Fuji Speedway hosted the first-ever Formula One race in Japan. In the 1980s, the track was used for the FIA World Sportscar Championship and national racing. For decades, Fuji Speedway was owned by Mitsubishi Estate, until it was acquired by Toyota Motor in 2000. The circuit hosted the Formula One 2007 Japanese Grand Prix after an absence of nearly 30 years, replacing the Suzuka Circuit owned by Honda. After Fuji Speedway hosted the 2008 race, the Japanese Grand Prix returned to Suzuka for races from 2009 onward. The Super GT Fuji 500 km race is held at the racetrack on Golden Week.
