Dave - wonderful! Thanks so much for the pictures and the directions. I've also heard there is only one gas station nearby, and that only has one hi-octane pump, with an old guy who hand writes his receipts!

And exactly right. We all wanted to have a day in which to really polish our driving skills - going fast (like at Fuji) is often a matter of standing on the throttle and holding tight - and having a really powerful car. On a tight course like this, we're going to be able to practice braking, and taking up and down corners - which such as at Fuji give a lot of us trouble.

It's also a short circuit, so our on track learning time will be maximized. Fuji is fun, but there are so many straights between the corners.

This will be a day spent learning our car's cornering capacities, as you say. And for the others - S2000, FD, 86, Roadster, S15 - everyone will be able to have fun too!

Deserted mountain roads? like Touge? I am NOT responsible for what happens on the way home. (actually, I've seen some describe the track itself as Touge-like).

Don't suppose there are some good onsen around...

Dave - having driven the track before - would you recommend S-tires or street radials? I'm thinking the street radials might be better, it may help the back break out to get some oversteer going...
