Mobilityland Corp. Suzuka CircuitMotor Sports Division, Technical Center,SRS Secretariat


At Suzuka Circuit, which has been hosting the two-wheeled and four-wheeled motorsport such as Formula1 to start with, is a pioneer in operating the racing schools with the aim to train riders and drivers to be recognized as the world’s top class racers not only technically but also psychologically and humanly.

And from there, we have produced racers who are active in the world’s top class MotoGP™ and Formula1 Grand Prix as well as in the races at the national highest level.

With the philosophy “it is essential to give education from childhood in order to raise the racers who can take an active role in the world”, the motorcycle-focused “Suzuka Circuit Racing School Junior (currently SRS-Moto)” was started in 1992. In 1993, “Suzuka Circuit Racing School Kart (SRS-Kart)” with the aim to the next-generation driver development was established. In addition, in 1995 the full-fledged Formula driver training organization which can be said only one in Japan “Suzuka Circuit Racing School Formula (SRS-Formula)” was started. Also, in 2015, the new program “SRS-Formula Challenge” was established to smooth the transition by brushing the ability for the formula car at the same time while attending SRS-Kart.

For each school, we have lecturers who have the brilliant achievements to give the high-grade education which integrates the mentality, physical and technical skills. It is one of the aims of this Suzuka Circuit Racing School (SRS) trying to give young people seriously aimed at becoming top rider and top driver of the future the secure and effective way, in the environment that cannot be usually experienced.

At SRS-Formula we have produced long-sought Formula 1 drivers, and for both the 2-wheel and 4-wheel schools, many graduates have already been taking active roles in the overseas races as well as the All-Japan Championship. It can be said that our philoso-phy of precise education from the childhood is the right path to the world is proved.

Why don’t you realize the dream of “top riders and top drivers in the world” here at Suzuka Circuit which is blessed with the best environ-ment in the world?

To the top. To the world.
