Drivers donate money-can’t-buy memorabilia for Fuji charity auction

The forthcoming 6 Hours of Fuji in Japan not only marks the penultimate round of the 2025 FIA WEC campaign, but also the milestone 100th event in the series’ history. The auction forms part of the fan-related activations on-site, and will be held in two sessions on the Fan Zone main stage – at 12:00 local time today and again from 14:30-16:00 on Sunday.
