About the track

Suzuka is the only figure-of-eight circuit on the F1 calendar, where the track crosses over itself - making it absolutely unique in the world. The legendary 130R corner, taken at full throttle at over 300 km/h, is a test of courage, while the Spoon curve demands a perfect racing line. Drivers regularly name Suzuka as their favourite track, appreciating its old-school character and zero margin for error. This is where famous championship battles were decided - the memorable collision between Senna and Prost in 1989 went down in sporting history. As Honda's home, the track holds special significance for Japanese motorsport heritage. The demanding fast corner sequences in the first sector mean Suzuka mercilessly exposes every weakness in a car.
