The track by the name of “Fujimi Kaido” has returned to Forza Motorsport courtesy of the free 20th Anniversary update. Let’s just say, if you have ever white-knuckled your way through those hairpin turns, this track is no casual job. It stands as a monster: beautiful, yet fright-time.
Fujimi Kaido, for the unconverted, is like that bit of Dark Souls in racing circuits: tricky turns that will have you all panic-stricken if you don’t drift on cue, steep ascents testing your car’s fortitude, and descents so fast they drop your stomach. It is a track kind of separating casual from hardcore racing. And now? It’s back in all its glory.
Introduced back in Forza Motorsport 4, with fans demanding its return ever since it disappeared, the 20th Anniversary Update means more than a sweet blast from the past-it is a full revival of one of the greatest and toughest courses ever in racing game history. And the icing on the cake? Absolutely FREE. No funny business, no battle passes, just dirt-road-down-madness.
But why Fujimi Kaido? For starters, this is no everyday oval nor a city circuit. This thing is a winding mountain road that feels more like rally stage than your typical circuit. Speed versus control—you either die or live with every slight miscalculation hugging the guardrail. The kind of track with a little sweat and swear, but you hit “Restart Race” because you know you can do better.
Rumors are that it also got you wondering what else they have planned for the anniversary. If they do ship Fujimi Kaido back to us, does it also mean an uproar of other fan favorite tracks? Maple Valley? Nürburgring Nordschleife in all its brutal glory? The hype train is moving, and everyone along for the ride!
For now, Fujimi Kaido stands at the top until the winds with whatever replaces it. Whether this track is worthy of a drift god or just equally fun for less talented mortals who want to learn the fine art of yeeting cars off cliffs for fun (No judgment), it will be a massive event either way. So plug in your Xbox, grab your favorite ride, and brace yourself for an intense trial on one of the most punishing—and rewarding—tracks in Forza.
Hey, if you blow it on the first turn, don’t sweat it. It’s happened to all of us.
