"Joy Tai" celebrated its 10th anniversary. In 2010, the number of registered drivers increased from 2 to 5, making it easier and more enjoyable for more people to participate.

On July 10th (Sat), the official qualifying was held under a clear blue sky, making it extremely hot. In this heat, each team's A driver entered the time attack. Divided into two groups for each class, the 30-minute session was run once by both the A and B drivers, with the fastest time reflected on the grid.

The B driver of Group 2, who is the last session of the qualifying, starts the attack. In the tough conditions where the road temperature exceeds 50 degrees, #2 Shiden Team's Lotus 2-11, driven by Hiroki Kato, marked 2 minutes 12 seconds 417 and won the pole position.
"(Twin Ring Motegi) It's been since 2009 when I ran in the Lotus Cup, but the car's performance is good, so I was able to win the pole position. The fuel efficiency is not good, so on July 11 (Sun), I want to enjoy the race tension with everyone. If the ranking is good, it's the best. First of all, I'm looking forward to receiving the checkered flag without any trouble," said Kato.

The #83 HONDA NSX in B5 class topped with a time of 2:12.916, followed by the #40 Holiday Auto x Riduka YH-EG6 in B4 class with a time of 2:14.632, and the #199 KRac & Kurosawa Automobile Civic in B3 class with a time of 2:16.458.

After the official qualifying session, the "JOY TAI" 3-hour endurance race was held as scheduled at 14:15. Although 5 cars were entered, the #70 M Sports Tiger S2000 did not make it to the grid due to mechanical issues. The remaining 4 cars started cleanly and aimed for the finish after 3 hours.

The 【#78 Cars Hitachi Minami Car Tech Civic】 that started from pole position was the first to enter the first corner, followed by the 【#28 Forward Racing BMW M3】 that started from third on the grid. However, at the 4th corner, the 【#28 Forward Racing BMW M3】 that had overtaken the 【#78 Cars Hitachi Minami Car Tech Civic】 at the 5th corner took the lead. However, after 23 minutes, the 【#28 Forward Racing BMW M3】 pitted for refueling. Once again, the 【#78 Cars Hitachi Minami Car Tech Civic】 took the lead and dominated the race. However, with 50 minutes remaining, they ran two extra laps and had to slow down due to running out of gas.
The car stopped on the inside of the 90-degree corner, and it seemed like all was lost. However, the officials pushed the car desperately and managed to reach the refueling area. After refueling, they returned to the track while maintaining the lead. They then received the checkered flag, and the 【#78 Cars Hitachi Minami Car Tech Civic】 won the 3-hour endurance race for the first time in 2 years.
The gap between them and the second-place 【#171 NWR Civic SPM】 was only 1.176 seconds. The 【#28 Forward Racing BMW M3】 also finished 3rd on the same lap. Unfortunately, the 【#37 CRUX Oyako MAC】 retired without realizing the parent-child power.
