Second Collaboration of JKA and Odds Park!
On February 23, 2026, the Japan Keirin Association (JKA) and Odds Park are thrilled to present the second installment of their collaboration, titled "On-Site Auto Race Viewing and Fan Meeting in Osaka, Supported by Odds Park." This engaging event will be held in conjunction with the grand finale of the SG 39th All Japan Selection Auto Race at the Hamamatsu Auto Race Course.
Building on the success of the inaugural event in Ueno last November, this gathering promises to be equally dynamic. Attendees previously expressed their eagerness to return, noting remarks like "I want to participate again," "It was incredibly enriching considering it was free," and "I enjoyed interacting with fellow fans." This positive feedback has inspired us to create an environment where people can enjoy food and drinks while experiencing the exhilaration of live auto racing and connecting with the athletes.
Event Details
The event will feature popular announcer Hideo Domomae as the host, alongside Nagisa, a renowned Pachinko writer and gravure model, serving as the assistant. Guests will include Seina Masuzaki, a prominent racer from the Hamamatsu Auto Race Course hosting the final event, and Mao Miyake, the champion from the Super Star Girls’ Championship held last year.
Participants can look forward to a spectacular viewing experience on a large screen accompanied by immersive sound effects.
