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'.
