Auto aficionados are in for a treat this summer as FuelFest Japan returns to Fuji Speedway in August, coinciding with the Mountain Day national holiday. Now running for several years, this internationally celebrated car festival is one of the largest of its kind, drawing thousands of enthusiasts from across Japan and beyond.

The event has previously welcomed Hollywood stars such as Sung Kang, Tyrese Gibson, and Cody Walker, brother of the late Paul Walker. Once again, visitors can expect a mix of cinematic spectacle and automotive excellence, with celebrity appearances and movie-themed events bringing the world of Fast & Furious to life right on the circuit.

The event will run from 10am until 6pm, featuring more than 2,000 tuned cars, 200 supercars, and a full schedule of high-energy attractions. Some of the highlights include a 0-200 meter drag race with 200 cars, a movie-style drift course, a talk show with special guests, and a dramatic parade run involving over 1,000 vehicles. A dedicated area will showcase replica vehicles and scenes from the Fast & Furious films, giving fans a chance to step into the action.

In addition to the cars, visitors can enjoy over 50 food vendors, a kid-friendly zone, and support activities for the Noto Peninsula, including a taiko drumming performance from Wajima City.
