![]() 10, 11 and 12 September 2008 Using spoiler-tag to reduce size of first post. ![]() [spoiler] Wikipedia wrote: The Japanese Grand Prix is a race in the calendar of the FIA Formula One World Championship. It is one of the most-loved F1 events of the season, due to the exciting and challenging layout of Suzuka Circuit which hosted many races in the past, and because of its traditional place at the end of the schedule which means that this event has seen a great number of Championship crowns being won and lost. [/spoiler]In the twenty Japanese Grands Prix (1976-1977; 1987-2004), eleven have seen the title destiny decided (1976, 1987-1991, 1996, 1998-2000, and 2003), with five of those events (1976, 1996, 1998-1999 and 2003) being last race Championship deciders. Circuit History [spoiler] F1.com wrote: Replacing the legendary Suzuka circuit for the 2007 Japanese Grand Prix (the venues will alternate from 2009), the Fuji Speedway had a tough act to follow. But with Mount Fuji as a backdrop, a multimillion-dollar refurbishment by track design guru Hermann Tilke and an overtaking-friendly 1.5-kilometre straight, Japan's new Grand Prix circuit proved more than ready to take on the challenge. [/spoiler]Originally built in the style of an American speedway in 1966, Fuji is best remembered for hosting the very first Japanese Grand Prix in 1976. The inaugural race was the setting for one of Formula One racing's closest title showdowns, between James Hunt and Niki Lauda. Though the event proved popular, the 1977 race would be the circuit's last appearance on the Formula One world championship calendar for 30 years. In 2000, Toyota bought a 93 percent stake in the track and three years later Fuji was closed for renovation, before reopening in February 2005. Measuring 4.5 kilometres in length, the results of Tilke's refurbishment were substantial. Combining the original circuit's celebrated straight with his characteristic twists and turns, the new design impressed enough to secure the Japanese race for 2007. Updated and modernised, the track easily rivals other new circuits in Bahrain, Shanghai and Istanbul. Widened tarmac run-off areas have improved driver safety, while the enhanced infrastructure and modern facilities satisfy the demands of both the paddock and the spectators. Located in Japan's populous Shizuoka Prefecture and just 62 miles from Tokyo, organisers expect to attract up to 220,000 spectators to Fuji over the course of the race weekend, with 110,000 on race day alone. To accommodate the crowds, the circuit boasts some of the calendar's best grandstands, including seating for 24,000 opposite the pits.

Should be interesting if we got a dry race so Ferrari will use their advantage, if it will be wet then it got to be McLaren providing Hamilton won't make a mistake or someone springs up a surprise. |

Should be a nice green track for practice and quali regardless I think after 3 crazy races we perhaps need a calmer one |

But if the low temperatures are expected, Ferrari will struggle at the begining of stints. |

I have to say that Japanese time zone is a bitch to convert from. Took me quite a while to correct the times for that. |
