Owned by Honda.

Has three different configurations, the GP course, the east course
(which utilizes the front straight and the esses), and the west course
(which utilizes everything else).

The circuit is the centerpiece of an amusement park; the tall Ferris
Wheel can be seen from the track.

The only track outside North America that has hosted both Formula One
and NASCAR. The track regularly hosts the Japanese Grand Prix and hosted
NASCAR Winston Cup exhibition races in 1996 and 1997.

The track in all its configurations is playable in Forza 3.

The only track on the F1 circuit that doubles back over itself.

This track opened in 1962 as a test track for Honda. An amusement park,
now named Motopia, opened alongside the track a year later. The
highlight of the park is its giant Ferris wheel which is visible from
the track, the Ferris wheel is actually the tallest structure in all of
Japan's Mie Prefecture.

Suzuka has a traditional Formula 1 and road racing style pit road with
direct access to the pit garages. That was a notable change when the
NASCAR exhibition races were run here because it meant the teams didn't
have a pit wall to work with as most North American tracks do. A white
line painted through the pit area was used to donote the area behind
which all the pit crews had to stand until their cars came in.

From Tim Hauraney:

News: The Japanese GP will remain on the #F1 calendar till at least the
end of 2024 as race organizers and Formula 1 have reached an agreement
on a 3 year extension.
