Gathering at Fujimi Kaido to Celebrate 20 Years of Forza Motorsport

Oh man, where do I even start with the jumble of racing dates and cars that got thrown my way? You know, I’ve always had a thing for cars. Can’t explain it, but the way a 1984 Toyota Starlet grumbles on the Fujimi Kaido — there’s something dreamy, almost poetic about it. May 7th and June 25th, mark those dates because time attack nonsense is going down.

Then there’s that Cadillac vibe. Imagine rolling up in a 2023 Cadillac V-Series, feeling the raw power as you hit the Hakone Grand Prix Circuit. Same specific dates, like it’s all synchronized and planned to perfection or chaos. May 7 and June 25, if precision means anything to you.

And oh, the WeatherTech Raceway! Picture a 2005 Honda NSX-R cutting through the course. I mean, you can practically smell the burnt rubber and adrenaline, right? They’re rolling on May 7 and May 21 — that’s if you’re planning your life around it.

Jump over to Spa with the 1988 McLaren MP4/4. Gotta love that retro speed beast. May 14 and June 11, both are picnics you can’t afford to miss, at least if you call yourself a petrolhead.

Atlanta calls next with a 2003 Nissan Fairlady Z on May 21 and June 4. Why Atlanta, you ask? Why not! Spice things up, see where life, or the road, takes you.

And speaking of love letters, ever penned one to a car? ‘Cause the Audi R8 at the Nürburgring deserves at least a poetic nod. June 4 and 18, maybe catch that moody German sky as it reflects off the Audi’s sleek exterior.

Another McLaren shoutout — it’s like a rock concert but substituting guitars for engines. June 11 and July 9, means more reasons to skip mundane plans.

Now, Mugello with a Ferrari — oh wait, it’s Ferrari on Mugello, duh. Still sounds delicious. June 18 and July 2, when Italian flare meets race track elegance.

Back to Fujimi (gotta love the back and forth), but this time the Toyota Sprinter Trueno dances in reverse. May 7 and June 25, spinning wheels and all. Ghostly vibes? Most definitely.

Super Supra, 1995 this time! It’s like the laid-back rock star of cars hitting Grand Oak Raceway on May 7 and June 25. It’s just got that don’t-care-but-totally-cares-attitude.

Open classes, any class really, at Catalunya, Suzuka, and Maple Valley — making way for A, B, and C weaved into the narrative of drifting. Again, May 7 and June 25 stamp themselves onto your calendar.

Spotlights do their thing because, who doesn’t like a shiny under the spotlight? From Honda NSX at Silverstone, that’s May 7 and 14, to a Ferrari 458 enjoying Le Mans — who can’t like that melody of motors on May 28 and June 4?

Breathe, but only for a moment—cause there’s the ever-glorious McLaren P1 racing up Bathurst’s Mount Panorama on June 4 and 11. You nearly taste the liberating freedom in that.

Watkins Glen and a Ford GT on June 11 and 18? Absolutely. More iconic than even that time these dates keep reappearing as if from some grand cosmic twist.

Porsche 911 GT2 RS closes this mad dance-off of rubber and speed at Maple Valley on June 18 and 25. It’s like a farewell, but with tires singing instead of violins. Magic, messy, and insanely human.
