Suzuka, Japan circuit details
Built as a Honda test track in 1962, it has hosted the Japanese GP since 1987. Unique in F1 in being a figure of eight circuit. It has some great corners (130R and Spoon), but overtaking is difficult. Despite this, it has led to some exciting end of season races. For 2007/8 the race moved to rival Toyota's track at
Fuji but moved back to Suzuka from 2009.
