The Aomori Branch of the Japan Automobile Federation (JAF) (Branch Manager: Ryo Ono) will cooperate with PR activities for the 2026 JAF Auto Test Challenge 'Casual Challenge in Hasshoku Center,' which will be held at Hasshoku Center in Hachinohe City, Aomori Prefecture, on Sunday, June 21. The event is organized by the Motorsports Club Hachinohe (MSC Hachinohe).

Auto Test is a traditional form of motorsport originating in the UK that competes on the 'precision of driving.' No competition license is required, and no special equipment such as helmets or gloves, or special vehicle modifications are necessary. You can participate casually in the car you normally drive. Participants drive through a course set up with pylons one by one, competing on time and the precision of their operations.
