Nikko Circuit (日光サーキット)

Circuit · Japan, Tochigi

Where the D1 Lights season opens. A kilometre of track.

A compact 1,027-metre circuit that has opened the D1 Lights season since 2024, before that it sat mid-calendar, and is the home of the Kanto All-Star Drift GP.

The name misleads: it is in Utsunomiya, not Nikko, and it is the farthest of the Kanto circuits from Tokyo rather than the closest. What it offers instead is a track small enough that a grassroots driver can learn all of it in a day.
