PICKUP! If it’s your first time watching SUPER GT, we recommend the Victory Stand (V Seat)!
If you’re unsure which ticket to choose, we recommend starting with the V Seat. The V Seat is a stand that stretches from the final corner to the first corner, where you can closely enjoy iconic moments of the event such as the tension before the start, the speed rushing down the home straight, and the braking at the first corner.
Since the highlights differ for each block, before purchasing, try choosing your seat based on the scenes you want to focus on, such as "wanting to see the start," "wanting to see the battle at Turn 1," or "wanting to see the pits and podium." You can also check the race developments in areas not visible from the stands on the main screen in front.
Near the V seats, the Hospitality TERRACE also appears, equipped with kitchen cars and a covered rest area. Being able to eat and take breaks during the race intervals is another recommended point for first-time spectators.
PICKUP! If you want to enjoy changing your viewing spots, choose the “General Admission Ticket”
You can enjoy the race from multiple free viewing areas, including 130R, the V-shaped corner, and the downhill straight where the highest speeds are recorded. Instead of just watching carefully from the same spot, we also recommend changing your viewing location between Saturday and Sunday to compare how the machines look and sound.
PICKUP! If you are 16 to 23 years old, the "16-23 ZERO Yen Pass"
Race viewing and park attractions are free for 2 days!
Eligible individuals can enjoy two days of free admission to watch SUPER GT in the unreserved seating area, enter Mobility Resort Motegi, and enjoy the park's attractions. It is also recommended for friends visiting SUPER GT for the first time.

The “A Seats” are also recommended for enjoying the venue with your family!
The A Seats are located in front of the home straight and pits, allowing you to watch the entire course and the big screen. They are close to the central entrance area and provide easy access to the park, Hello Woods, and restaurants, making them ideal for those with children or who want to explore the venue.
If you want to see the thrill of speed and braking, choose the "G Seats and Z Seats"
G Seats and Z Seats are reserved seats where you can enjoy the powerful driving of machines passing through a 90-degree corner. Watch closely as the machines brake sharply and accelerate out of the corner after decelerating rapidly from the long straight.
The Z seats have a special vision screen where you can also check the overall progress of the race. Since the G seats do not have a special vision screen, they are suitable for those who want to focus on the driving and sounds right in front of them.
If you want to overlook from 130R to the V corner, choose the "V Corner Seats"
This is a reserved seat with a wide view from 130R to the V-shaped corner. You can enjoy watching the machines' movements as they head into the corner and the tactical battles as they approach the car ahead, looking for overtaking opportunities. A special vision screen also allows you to check the overall race situation.

This is a two-day group seating area where you can bring your own outdoor set and leisure sheet, enjoy meals, lie down and rest, and watch at your own pace. You can choose between a regular section and a dog-friendly section.
There are no tables or chairs within the section, so you need to bring the necessary items yourself. BBQ and overnight stays from November 7 (Sat) are possible.

There is a dedicated grassy area and a large screen, with tables and chairs also provided. You can bring your own tent and BBQ equipment and stay overnight from Saturday.
NEW! If you want to watch the battle at Turn 5 head-on, choose the "T5 (Turn Five) Deck"
This is a deck for 6 people where you can watch the machines diving into Turn 5 head-on. You can set up a large tent in the spacious 5m x 7m area, and BBQs and overnight stays are also possible. A large screen allows you to check the overall race situation.

Recommended Items & Clothing
The best way to enjoy the event is in your own style, but if you're unsure about your outfit or what to bring, feel free to use this as a reference!
-
① Hat
To protect yourself from the sun, a hat or cap with a wide brim is essential. For heatstroke prevention, breathable materials are recommended. It is also important to choose one that fits well and is less likely to be blown away by the wind.
-
② Bag
Backpacks or crossbody bags that free up your hands are convenient in the viewing area. Choosing a lightweight, body-fitting type makes moving around comfortable and managing valuables easier. Waterproof ones provide extra peace of mind in case of sudden showers.
-
③ Bottoms
Pants made of stretch material that are easy to move in even when sitting for long periods, or pants with good breathability, are recommended. Since the circuit has many paved roads, it is better to choose a length that can protect your knees just in case.
-
④ Shoes
Since you will be walking long distances, wear familiar sneakers or trekking shoes. Sandals are not recommended because the asphalt can get hot and you may have to walk through crowds.
-
① Mobile BatteryWhen watching for a long time, you may worry about your smartphone's battery. It's reassuring to bring a spare battery.
-
② Long-sleeved jacketIn autumn, mornings and evenings can be chilly, so it is convenient to have one long-sleeved garment to put on according to the temperature.
