SUZUKA CIRCUIT
Making history from the off
The first Japanese Grand Prix in 1976 produced a thrilling finale to the fight for the Drivers’ World Championship, between James Hunt and Niki Lauda, a rivalry captured in the film, “Rush.” Spoiler alert, Lauda pulled out after one lap, deeming the atrociously wet conditions too dangerous. Hunt went on to finish third, picking up enough points to take the crown.
The first at Suzuka
In 1987, the race reappeared on the calendar at the Suzuka circuit, built in 1962 as Soichiro Honda wanted a purpose-built track to test his cars. The track, famous for its “figure of eight” section was designed by Dutchman John Hugenholtz.
Timeless challenge
The Japanese Grand Prix has always produced thrilling racing over the years and has very often been the title decider. All the drivers love Suzuka, which is both technical and fast with some of the nicest corners on the calendar, such as the high speed esses in the first section and the legendary 130 R, which requires plenty of pace and a good helping of courage.
