About This Event
The Suzuka 8 Hours is the only round of the FIM Endurance World Championship held outside Europe, eight hours of racing with teams of riders sharing each bike. It runs at Suzuka Circuit in Mie, the Honda run track that also holds the Formula 1 Japanese Grand Prix.
1What to Expect
The 2027 race weekend runs Friday 2 to Sunday 4 July, the third of four rounds in the 2027 FIM Endurance World Championship.
The 2027 race is the 48th Suzuka 8 Hours.
The race sits between the 8 Hours of Spa Motos in June and the Bol d'Or 24 hour finale in September.
Riders hand the bike over to teammates at each pit stop, so team strategy decides the result as much as speed.
