hell yes...i live 30 mins from Fuji Speedway =D see you guys there

My partner and I will be in Tokyo at this time and would be keen to attend.

Whats the story with purchasing tickets? Is it ok to get them on the day?

What would be the best way to get to the track? More than happy to chip in if anyone has seats available in a van/car.

Looking forward to it!

[elrodeo666]

You can buy tickets on the day but its 500 yen extra so your looking at 2,500yen each.

You wont be able to get tickets to Grid walk etc as they are only available online from Japan only.

By the way , I'm back in Japan so those guys that I've organised to get tickets I'll be pming you soon !!

[Lina34]

Alrighty thanks for that.

No hope of getting the circuit safari/taxi tickets on the day either I am guessing? From the translated english on the website looks like thats a no hope.

Oh well should be a fun day anyway.

Is public transport to the track doable?

[Beer Baron]

yeah PT to fuji is certainly possible. train to gotenba station then bus from there to FISCO. there are direction in english on the fuji speedway website.

from memory take the odakyu line from shinjuku. I usually drive but have done the train and bus once years ago. it is a fair hike by train etc but certainly do-able.

Nah mate not a chance of getting circuit safari/taxi or grid walk tickets on the day.

They sell out in a matter of minutes once tickets go on sale online.

Just hire a car..piece os p#ss and get english gps and you'll have no troubles bar the annual traffic jam on the Tomei expressway.

[Lina34]

Ok cool.

Staying at Shinjuku so I figure that makes the train pretty easy. Just as long as buses exist on the other end its all good

Not too keen on car hire, no where to put the thing when I get back to the hotel and heading off early monday morning.

Looking forward to it anyway!
