The Greatest Private Race Track In The World?!

The über rich always need somewhere to play with their latest track toys, and now there’s a new high-end ‘driving resort’ recently opened in Japan that aims to best those already in business in Europe and the USA.

It’s called the Magarigawa Club and there’s a race track, obviously, and an on-site fuel station to minimise time away from the circuit, plus fully crewed workshops, a temperature-controlled storage facility for hundreds of cars, and a helipad. So far, so ultra-high-net-worth.

But this billionaire’s playground caters to its clients – and their families – away from the track as well, with traditional Japanese hot spring bathing, a top-tier gym and yoga studio, a kids’ creche complete with miniature Bugatti pedal cars, and a dog park for one’s pup. And this is Japan, so there’s even a (soundproofed) karaoke room too.

Join TG’s Tom Ford for a tour of this automotive theme park aimed at the 0.01%.

[averagemoto]

This track looks beautiful. Blind crest and tight technical sections with just the right amount of straights!

[rocketable]

Need this in a racing game asap, the track looks sick!

[fastfarari]

This track is amazing, you can tell it was made for pure enthusiasm

[Climate.Realist]

It's like a the child from Spa and the Nurburgring.

[fredc]

a track day vacation this is, they have all the villas and suites and hospitalities there, its heaven.

[hitmanzzz]

Why does this track looks so good 😭, the elevation change, the smooth flowy esses, so sick.

[TheDeadNightTiger]

Another great video, I'm not missing the TV show at all, this format is much better.

[naildeath]

Tom literally has one of the coolest jobs in the world.

[sodazman]

It's like a mini Suzuka/Nurburgring combo. Wonderful!

[chawley]

I wonder what the acoustics are like; both for the driver and for those watching from the main buildings. Echos bouncing off the hills before a car roars into view, or for the driver exiting the hairpin and the exhaust notes suddenly booming against the rising retaining wall. A feast for all senses, I'd bet.

[afrikengunner]

This is a club where if u are asking how much the membership is, you should not be a member

[tdyerwestfield]

Quite a remarkable circuit. Pretty much tailormade to test Lotus cars and track toys. The blind crests are something else.

[LadrilloEnBici]

ungraded clip at 3:37 awesome to see the color work they do for this videos

[edrcozonoking]

That track just looks epic with the elevation changes and use of the terrain.

[jasonbernard]

Everything Tom does in Japan is brilliant - can’t get enough of his vids!

[SamuelSantos_]

This track's twisty, narrow layout and elevation change reminds me of Fujimi Kaido from older Forza games.

[cgtactical]

I had been following the progress as the track was being built, I think it is a great track with cool scenery and good elevation change

[jdmbren]

Can confirm this is in assetto corsa!!
Excited to rip this tonight lol

[Wody]

It has a lot of Nürburgring vibes from the flowing straights and the undulations and blind (double) corners. Just not as long and so a lot easier to get into your head. I like it!
