History
[edit]The Tokyo Street Circuit was unveiled on October 25, 2023, representing the first time the electric category will compete in Japan. The event has been seen as a way to achieve the city's goal of ensuring that all new cars are gasoline-free by 2030, with city governor Yuriko Koike stating that "the championships will provide impetus to spread the zero-emission vehicles."[1] The circuit takes places around the Tokyo Big Sight convention center.[2][3]
