After two years, the WEC is finally back in Fuji Speedway with the 6 Hours of Fuji leg of the FIA World Endurance Championship Season 10, putting Japan back on the motorsports map.
The WEC's Japan return gives Toyota the chance to wow its home crowd as it tries to grapple the likes of Alpine and Peugeot on the Hypercar class. Not only that, the Fuji leg is a chance for the new Corvette C8.R to flex its American muscles on Japanese soil while facing a swarm of LMGTE PRO heavyweights from Porsche and Ferrari. Regardless of which side the Japanese fans are on, it's great to see the WEC back racing in Fuji after two years.
