Coca-Cola Suzuka 8 Hours
Known as one of the most physically demanding races on the calendar, the Suzuka Circuit challenges riders with its technical 5.821 km layout. The 47th running of the race since its inception in 1978 saw the event cancelled only twice in 2020 and 2021. The event served as the third round of the 2026 FIM Endurance World Championship. The event has been sponsored by Coca-Cola in its official race title since 1984, making it one of the longest-running title sponsorships in motorcycle racing. The unique mix of highly-staffed Japanese factory teams for whom overall victory is paramount, with predominantly European championship-active teams, makes the race the most attractive endurance race in motorcycle motorsport.
