The following new track will be added.
SUGO International Racing Course
(Length: 3,586m. Elevation Change: 69.83m. No. of Corners: 13. Longest Straight: 704.5m)
Located in Miyagi Prefecture in northeastern Japan, SUGO International Racing Course is a highly technical circuit known for its dramatic elevation changes and challenging layout. Its most distinctive section is the final corner leading onto the main straight, where drivers face a gradient of up to 10 percent. After charging down the more than 700-meter straight, drivers encounter a wide variety of corners, beginning with the sweeping right-hand Turns 1 and 2 before tackling S-curves, hairpins and complex multi-apex sections. The result is a circuit that blends the excitement of high-speed driving with the precision and strategy demanded by its more technical sections.
