The goal of the Circuit Challenger is to provide an attraction where everyone in the family, from small children to adults, can experience the joy of "challenging themselves."
Thus, development has progressed with the appointment of Takuma Sato, a racing driver and father of two, as the project advisor.

Comment from Takuma Sato

We have made efforts so that everyone, from small children to adults, can enjoy it casually and with a focus on authenticity.
Unlike previous go-karts, this one is tuned to connect the power of the motor to the driving experience through the operation of the shift and steering. I believe it has been designed to allow you to truly enjoy the challenge throughout the entire attraction. It is truly a 'Circuit Challenger'.
