Campervan rental to watch the F1 and MotoGP races in Japan

The best itineraries for F1 and MotoGP fans

The famous F1 and MotoGP Grand Prix of Japan will take place at the end of September this year. And avid fans from all around the world will gather in Japan.
Furthermore, did you know that these two legendary racing events will take place in close proximity to one another?
That is why we recommend this lengthy itinerary to persons who are interested not just in the races but also in traveling across Japan..

However, the distance between the two venues, F1 Suzuka Racing Ground and MotoGP Mobility Resort Motegi, is overwhelming and there are four days in between.
So, as JAPAN ROAD TRIP, we recommend this itinerary using a rental campervan so that you can enjoy two race events and sightseeing around some popular spots in Japan more easily.
