As a large recently constructed Japanese circuit, Twin Ring Motegi has and continues to be utilised virtually in a large number of electronic video games, both in arcade machines and in PC and console games for home use.
- In Honda's 2005 Clio Awards winning commercial Impossible Dream, the sequence in which the BAR Formula One car is driven into the bridge is filmed at the circuit.
- During the opening sequence of Kamen Rider Agito, the three main Kamen Riders are shown riding around the circuit, as Honda is the series sponsor.
- During the ending sequence of Engine Sentai Go-onger, the series' characters are shown dancing in the main straight of the road course. The racetrack is revealed in the series as the primary Go-onger team's origin (it is known that Saki Rouyama, Go-on Yellow, works there), and was used in the final scene from "Road Of Justice", the final episode of the series.
- The track is available in the racing games Forza Motorsport 3, Forza Motorsport 4, Gran Turismo 4, Gran Turismo 5 and iRacing.com.

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or media:
“The very nursery tales of this generation were the nursery tales of primeval races. They migrate from east to west, and again from west to east; now expanded into the “tale divine” of bards, now shrunk into a popular rhyme.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The corporate grip on opinion in the United States is one of the wonders of the Western World. No First World country has ever managed to eliminate so entirely from its media all objectivity—much less dissent.”
—Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
