Few Formula One circuits stir the spirit like the magnificent 3.6-mile tour de force nestling near the seaside of Japan’s Mie prefecture. Fewer still are held in such high regard by drivers that their enthusiasm is positively infectious. The venue for so much drama and a challenge like no other, Suzuka, with its unique figure‑of‑eight design, is one of the jewels in F1’s crown and hosts its 30th Japanese Grand Prix on Sunday.
There is an atmosphere here that can be perceived almost from the moment the iconic ferris wheel comes into view. Some of Formula One’s most thrilling encounters have taken place here in the 29 meetings since 1987. Suzuka is where the best are tested and success is held in the highest regard.
