Okayama Mountain Racing Complex

The Okayama Mountain Racing Complex is a .45 mi (.731 km) long race course within the Okayama Mountain Complex of the same name located near the Okayama Momotaro Airport. It is located on the site of a former golf course which, in the ESPLAR Timeline, was destroyed by a large wildfire in 2013 during an abnormally long heatwave in the region. A new golf course was built just adjacent to the new Mountain Racing Complex.

History
During the rise of Saihara Motorsports in the early-mid 2010s, the Japanese racing commission proposed building a race circuit somewhere in the Okayama Prefecture. Initial proposals for a race course near Tsuyama and Akaiwa were dropped due to lack of suitable location. Another location was proposed at the Kamikozue Ward near Yakage, but was dropped because parts of the course would slide during a storm if it were built at that location.

Finally the commission settled on a course near a golf course near Momotaro Airport in Okayama. The original plan called for the course to follow the terrain of the surrounding area and it was also going to be much longer than the present oval layout.
