In addition to purchasing a mansion, one of the first things the rich do when they achieve millionaire status is buy a six-figure supercar.
However, as millionaires are well aware, these cars aren’t designed for everyday activities like shopping and family outings. They’re engineering marvels built for speed. Fortunately, a Japanese company recognized this need and created the first exclusive luxury private circuit in Asia for elite members: the Magarigawa Club.
An exclusive club for millionaires who have a passion for speed. The concept isn’t entirely new. The Magarigawa Club is essentially a private racetrack available only to registered club members. However, it distinguishes itself from similar offerings by merging high-speed racing with the luxury and exclusivity that members can enjoy off the track.
Membership at the Magarigawa Club requires an annual fee of $234,000. The fee grants access to the track for personal vehicles and to the resort’s accommodations and facilities.
Heart-pounding corners and breathtaking views. The complex is about 65 miles southeast of Tokyo. Thanks to its elevated location, it offers stunning panoramic views of Mount Fuji and Tokyo Bay. Formula 1 circuit designer Hermann Tilke designed the track. He’s better known for his work on renowned racing circuits, including the United Kingdom’s Silverstone Circuit, Germany’s Nürburgring Sprint Short, Malaysia’s Sepang International Circuit, Abu Dhabi’s Yas Marina Circuit, and the now-defunct Valencia Street Circuit in Spain.
The 2.17-mile Magarigawa track features 22 challenging corners and a straight section that allows drivers to accelerate for 2,625 feet. Built into the mountainside, the circuit has a variable elevation of 750 feet between different sections. Around 20% of the track is uphill, while 16% is downhill, enhancing the overall driving experience.
Designed to cater to both supercar enthusiasts and their families. The Magarigawa circuit provides its millionaire members with all the essential services they need to enjoy their luxury vehicles on the track. This includes a dedicated team of mechanics stationed in an air-conditioned, covered pit lane. Additionally, the club offers sports driving courses, allowing members to maximize the performance of their high-powered cars while prioritizing safety.
Family members can also embrace the thrill of speed, but they have plenty of options to relax and unwind. They can take a dip in the infinity pool, work out in the gym, enjoy a drink, savor gourmet cuisine at the restaurant, and even have fun in the karaoke room, all while taking in breathtaking views.
A club where members can enjoy high-speed driving and spend quality weekends with their families. Kenzo Watari is the CEO of Cornes & Company, one of Japan’s leading luxury vehicle dealerships. He thought it would be a good idea to find a space where he could share his passion for cars with his wife and daughter.
He didn’t find it, so he decided to create the Magarigawa Club. The club’s focus extends beyond exhilarating driving experiences for millionaires to a family-friendly atmosphere. This includes low-speed circuit tours for children, playgrounds, and nature excursions along the trails that wind through the woods surrounding the racetrack.
