Go Japan! returns in 2025 for a late-summer celebration of JDM culture and Japanese pop culture.
The Indy circuit will come alive with a full day of speed, sideways action, and celebration of all things Japan, as modified monsters and beloved Japanese icons burn rubber on track.
Headline track action includes Time Attack UK, where cutting-edge, modified beasts are pushed to their limits in pursuit of the quickest lap times. Thrilling drift demonstrations will display jaw-dropping speed and precision car control, while the all-new Ultimate Racing Championship for 2025 promises high-octane modern touring car drama. The return of the fan-favorite Racing Hondas Championship guarantees an adrenaline-pumping showcase of Japanese hot hatch brilliance.
Off-track activities immerse visitors in a world of Japanese culture. Explore stunning displays of iconic Japanese cars, from classic JDM legends to cutting-edge models. Compete or admire in the Show and Shine competition, and experience Japanese-themed food and drink, from ramen and sushi to matcha lattes. Dive into a dedicated exhibitor and trade area packed with JDM parts, anime-inspired car wraps, collectibles, and more.
Anime and manga fans can indulge their passion with pop-up shops, artist alleys, and live cosplay events featuring characters from legendary series like Initial D and Naruto. Traditional Japanese culture will also be celebrated throughout.
Go Japan! 2025 isn’t just about cars—it’s a celebration of everything that makes Japanese culture a global phenomenon. From roaring engines to iconic art and cuisine, this is the ultimate event for petrolheads and Japanese culture fans alike!
