Ever wonder what the ultimate “for my family” gift looks like for a billionaire supercar fanatic? Apparently, it’s building your very own $200 million racetrack in the mountains.
Meet the Japanese billionaire who looked at his incredible garage full of the world’s most insane supercars and thought, “My wife and kids need a proper place to enjoy these.” So, he did what most of us can only dream of: he built them their very own private racing paradise.
The Japanese billionaire behind the Magarigawa Club is Kenzo Watari.
Tucked away in the serene mountains of Japan’s Chiba Prefecture, with stunning views stretching to Tokyo Bay and even Mount Fuji, lies the Magarigawa Club. Forget theme parks or commercial circuits – this place is pure, unadulterated playtime for petrolheads.
But this isn’t just any track. Designed by Hermann Tilke – the mastermind behind F1 circuits like Bahrain and Abu Dhabi – this thing is epic. It winds for over two miles through the hills, featuring 22 curves, dips, and straights. And get this: it literally starts at his house! The track snakes right between his front porch and swimming pool before diving into the surrounding forests. Imagine stepping out your door and onto your personal Grand Prix circuit!
What started as the ultimate private family playground has evolved into something else: a hyper-exclusive racing club. Want in? Be prepared to fork over a jaw-dropping $230,000 every year just for membership.
You can imagine the kind of machines that show up here:
- Lamborghini Revuelto
- Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro
- Apollo Evo
- …and likely other automotive unicorns.
So, with its mind-blowing design, breathtaking mountain backdrop, and eye-watering exclusivity, the Magarigawa Club might just be the craziest private racetrack ever built. And the wildest part? It all began simply as a billionaire dad wanting to give his family the thrill of a lifetime. Talk about going the extra mile!
