I have been using it for more than 20 years and it is the origin of my motorsport activities.
During that time, the operating organization changed about twice, but each had its own merits, and they always offered the service through trial and error.

Of course, I also obtained a course license, but initially the rules for using normal four-wheel driving were strict, and a racing suit, a four-point harness, and in some cases a roll cage were essential.
Since I didn't have much money at the time, it was difficult to prepare a circuit-only car, and I was reluctant to attach a 4-point harness or roll cage (need to make a body hole) to the town car I bought on loan. As a result, it was almost unavailable in the end.

Therefore, I mainly participated in the AP Cup (experience-based driving), which has a comparatively gentle participation regulation, and a driving event hosted by a magazine.
However, when financially available, I was overwhelmed by family events and work this time, and I noticed that circuit driving and motor sports were completely estranged ...

However, I think Autopolis is a wonderful circuit that can be proud of to the world in both course layout and incidental equipment.
I'm currently living in Kansai due to work, but someday I want to return to Oita and start running again!

Thank you for your wonderful memories! !!
