Only twenty drivers got the chance to participate in the Porsche GT Circle event, which took place at one of the world’s most exclusive racing venues: Magarigawa. Nestled outside Tokyo, the stunning Japanese race track offers views of Mount Fuji and Tokyo Bay, itself featuring gorgeous landscaping, opulent accommodations, and a circuit with 22 corners and dramatic elevation change.
The twenty lucky participants hailed from nine different countries, and the sports car lineup at the track included a 911 GT3 RS, a 911 Carrera GTS, a 911 GT3 with Manthey Kit, and a 718 Cayman GT4 RS. GT Circle events, which take place across the globe, are available for owners of Porsche GT cars, who can register using their VIN. While track days, including the one at Magarigawa, are some of the most thrilling GT Circle events, others include plant tours, premieres, road trips, and more.
Participants got to drive hot laps on the stunning course, but not before a warm-up the day before at the Porsche Experience Center in Tokyo, including its own circuit, a drift circle, an off-road course, and low-friction surfaces. The hot laps at Magarigawa, however, provided a once-in-a-lifetime thrill, with the elevation changes making drivers feel as if they were driving straight into the clouds, and the multiple high-speed sections and challenging corners providing them with a diverse range of experiences behind the wheel.
