Exciting 'Job Session' at Fuji Speedway for Future Motorsport Enthusiasts

The highly anticipated 'Job Session,' a unique career event aimed at students, is set to take place on July 17, 2026, at the renowned Fuji Speedway in Shizuoka Prefecture. Organized by Japan Race Promotion (JRP), which oversees the prestigious Super Formula Championship, this event will be free of charge, although prior registration is required.

This event is co-hosted by the Motorsports Committee of the Japan Automobile Federation, in collaboration with the growing movement to expand employment opportunities in the motorsport industry for students. The name change from the previous 'Employment Session' to 'Job Session' reflects a new approach to career development in the field of motorsport.

In recent years, JRP has been promoting the idea of motorsport as a 'running laboratory,' where cutting-edge technology and innovation meet social challenges. Since 2025, they have been organizing career support events for students, laying the groundwork for discussions aimed at involving more young talent in the motorsport sector.

A Unique Networking Opportunity

The focus of the 'Job Session' is to engage students who have a keen interest in pursuing a career in motorsports but may be unsure of the available opportunities. The event will feature intimate group discussions with experienced professionals—referred to as 'mentors'—from various sectors within the Super Formula community. Participants will have the chance to ask questions related to their career paths, job responsibilities, and the fulfilling aspects of working in this dynamic field.

During the sessions, attendees will be able to engage directly with mentors who work as engineers, mechanics, and in back-office roles within teams and organizations involved in the Super Formula series. This interactive format aims to provide a realistic understanding of the industry, breaking barriers and allowing students to communicate with professionals on equal footing.

Access and Convenience

To encourage student participation, JRP will arrange for free shuttle bus services from JR Mishima Station to Fuji Speedway. This makes it easier for students from the Tokyo and Tokai regions to attend the event. The convenient location of Mishima Station, which is easily accessible via Shinkansen (bullet train), ensures that more students can seize this opportunity.

The shuttle bus schedule will be announced closer to the date of the event, ensuring all logistical needs are covered for attendees.

Stay Updated

For those interested in attending, the official event website is regularly updated with the latest information and you can register for attendance via the site as well. This is an unmissable opportunity for students looking to break into the competitive world of motorsport.
