From the fast-flowing 'S' curves to the hair-raising 130R corner, Suzuka Circuit packs a lot into 5.8 kilometers, making it one of the most challenging circuits on the Formula One calendar and a fan favorite.

As the F1 circus pulls into Mie Prefecture for the first time since 2019, drivers and fans alike are eagerly anticipating the return of one of the sport’s top venues.

“All the drivers say that Suzuka is very special,” F1 President and CEO Stefano Domenicali told The Japan Times. “It’s unique, it’s quite a fast and challenging circuit and everyone is very happy to be back here.”
