We covered the new attraction "Racing Theater" that has opened at SuzukaCircuit, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, and allows you to experience motorsports. Kamui Kobayashi also came out to support us. (June 2012)

SuzukaCircuit, a mobility theme park, is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year.

This is the culmination of Honda's founder Soichiro Honda's ideas, such as ``Cars don't get better unless they are raced'' and ``We want to create a car park where you can enjoy the fun of driving.''

Once you pass through the large tire gate, you will see the new attraction "Racing Theater" that will be available from July 7th. It's based on red, and it's really cool♪

Pass through the "Entrance Hall" where racing machines such as formula machines and motorcycles are exhibited, and then head to the "Waiting Garage".

This is a reproduction of a pit garage, making it feel like you're taking a pit walk. You can also see the staff adjusting the machines, giving you a sense of the tension before the start.

And finally, we headed to the "main theater". When you sit in the cockpit (seat), which F1 driver Kamui Kobayashi praised highly, you feel like you are a real driver. Now, let the race begin!

The images projected on a widescreen 19m wide and 3.5m high are full of speed and are very impressive. When cornering, the seat vibrates and moves forward, backward, left and right in accordance with the video scene.

Furthermore, air shots and mist pop out, allowing you to feel like a real racing driver with your entire body.

Next up is “Discover Motorsports.” Here, you can directly experience the skills and machines necessary for motorsports, such as concentration, mental strength, technical ability, and cardiopulmonary ability.

On this day, when Kochira-chan was trying out the riding position on a motorcycle, Kamui Kobayashi appeared to cheer him on.

While holding the steering wheel and watching the screen as you drive around the circuit, you can avoid accidents and operate the steering wheel according to the instructions displayed on the screen. It seems easy, but it's difficult when you try it. There is also a ranking, so you can compete with your friends and family ♪

When cornering, lean your body to the left or right to match the image displayed on the large screen. When your family and friends get along well with each other, your speed will accelerate and you will move up the rankings. Let's all cooperate and have fun!

In addition, there are 10 fun experiences in total, such as being able to experience the wind hitting the driver and rider during a race, and operating the accelerator and brakes according to instructions while watching videos.

"Legends of Suzuka" introduces the legendary races that took place at SuzukaCircuit and their episodes through displays of racing machines and videos.

The Lotus Honda 99T, which participated in F1 in 1997, and the Honda RCB1000, which participated in the 8 Hours in 1977, are irresistible for fans of the past.

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to Motopia. Next to the racing theater is the ``Circuit Wheel'' (ferris wheel), and next to it are ``Kochira Racing Kart'', which just opened in March, and ``Advance Kart'' for advanced users. You can experience a more realistic driving experience. Recommended☆

Near the main gate is "Pipira's Moto Field". Even small children can enjoy their first motorcycle experience on the ``Kids Bike,'' or ride the ``Pipira Pinky Bike,'' a safe bike that won't fall over.

When I watch children driving cars, I get the impression that at first they are nervous about controlling an engine-powered car with their own hands. However, after a while, she starts to look really lively and happy☆

And finally, the adventure pool "Aqua Adventure" will open for a limited time during the summer on July 7th, the same day as the Racing Theater. There are plenty of water play items such as 5 types of pools, 2 types of slides, mega cannons and water cannons.

SuzukaCircuit, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary, is attracting a lot of attention, with summer fireworks, big races such as the 8 Hours and the F1 Japan GP, and anniversary days on September 1st (Saturday) and 2nd (Sunday). It can be enjoyed by everyone from small children to adults. Let's play to our heart's content☆
