Motegi Circuit
Racing circuit in Tochigi Prefecture, Japan
Mobility Resort Motegi (モビリティリゾートもてぎ) is a motorsport venue located in Motegi, Tochigi Prefecture, Japan. Originally Twin Ring Motegi (ツインリンクもてぎ), the venue's name came from the facility having two race tracks: a 2.493 km (1.549 mi) oval track and a 4.801 km (2.983 mi) road course. It was built in 1997 by Honda Motor Co., Ltd., as part of the company's effort to bring the Championship Auto Racing Teams series to Japan, helping to increase their knowledge of American open-wheel racing. The oval was last raced on in 2010 by the IndyCar Series. On March 1, 2022, the name of the track was changed to Mobility Resort Motegi, coinciding with the 25th anniversary of the facility. On May 13, 2026, demolition began of the speedway's oval.
