The Japanese V-Prix is a Formula Virtual race held annually in Japan. The first V-Prix in 2013 was held at the Suzuka Circuit but for the second race in 2014 the race has relocated to Fuji.

The first ever race at Suzuka was won by Will Hoskins for Franklin but was marred by a series of major accidents at the pitlane entry, one even involving championship contender Jean Mattson. As a result the race was moved to Fuji for the following year. This has been won three times by Adrien Simon (2014, 2016 and 2019), twice by Klaas van Snelheid (2017 - the Dutchman's first ever victory - and 2018), and once each by Tumo Kinnumen (2015) and Allar Kangur (2020), the latter being the first ever win for the Lopez team.
