    Suzuka back in calendar at 2008

    The Japanese GP will be held at Fuji and Suzuka in every other year. I have no idea about Fuji but it looks somewhat boring and Suzuka is one of teh bestest track ever! So I'm happy happy joy joy!!

    That's the old Fuji circuit.

    The new one is quite a bit different from that one.

    Really? I thought that only thing Tilke has done is the chicane in that last long curve?

    No, the whole back end of the track has been significantly altered.

    LOL, Hara you should know the circuits your driving on in BATracer

    Suzuka is a very special track. I was never as quick there as I wanted to be in various driving simulations, but I liked in nonetheless. The section starting from the Dunlop curve through turn 9 to the hairpin is my favorite part

    I love Suzuka as well. And spent many hours in GP2 and GP3 (the old Geoff Crammond games rock) banging around it. My favourite part was from the long curving straight after the hairpin, around spoon curve, the long back straight, the gloriously fast 130R, and up to the Casio Triangle.

    But you are right, the Degnar curves are very fun as well, so I is the opening rhythm section. Heck the track is awesome from start to finish.

    Hmm Suzuka is not listed in tracks for 2008 series. Does this mean we see Suzuka next time in 2009
