In Popular Media
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:
“Books of natural history aim commonly to be hasty schedules, or inventories of God’s property, by some clerk. They do not in the least teach the divine view of nature, but the popular view, or rather the popular method of studying nature, and make haste to conduct the persevering pupil only into that dilemma where the professors always dwell.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Today the discredit of words is very great. Most of the time the media transmit lies. In the face of an intolerable world, words appear to change very little. State power has become congenitally deaf, which is why—but the editorialists forget it—terrorists are reduced to bombs and hijacking.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
