Course Overview

You can experience the authentic atmosphere of a real rally, as the course uses roads that have actually been used in official rally events.
The location is a paved (tarmac) road in Tawara-cho, Uji City, Kyoto Prefecture.

We will have exclusive access to a 3.5 km forest road.

Driving at full speed on mountain passes (public roads) allows you to develop skills that are completely different from those you gain on a race circuit — offering a unique and thrilling experience.

While it’s a technical course, there are also high-speed sections, making this forest road a great place for drivers to hone their skills.
