Each participant can use 2 batteries in each category. IMPORTANT: You may not use your own batteries during this event.

There will be more on this to follow as we receive the information from the various tire and battery providers.

IMPORTANT: Please do not attempt air travel with Li-Po batteries, as this has become a recognised problem world-wide with many airlines.
We have to be proactive and do what we can to be responsible air travellers where we can, THANK YOU.


To follow will be a full report including entry details, accommodation, transport, transfers, etc and of course the rules.

But this is just to let you know so you can start planning your trip to this great new indoor all weather venue and experience the event being hosted by some of the best in the business.
If this is your game don’t miss out on this great opportunity to meet with the Japanese factory teams (they will be on hand to help) and enjoy the event.
The hosts have done all they can to ensure your stay with them is an enjoyable one.
You will be surprised by the prices as this is not down town Tokyo but you will still get to enjoy all that Japan has to offer.
I suggest you extend your stay a little to enjoy the JAPANESE EXPERIENCE.

Hope to see you there

Merry Christmas to you all and a safe and Happy New Year.
