Overview

About the Japanese Grand Prix

Ask F1 drivers to name their favourite track and Suzuka wins the vote more often than not. The Japanese Grand Prix in April — cherry-blossom season — is a pilgrimage for fans, and in 2027 it is a Sprint weekend, so Saturday now carries a race of its own.

Suzuka is the only figure-of-eight circuit in Formula 1, 5.807 km where the back straight crosses over the famous 130R approach on an overpass. The first-sector Esses reward rhythm and bravery, the Degner curves punish impatience, and 130R remains one of the fastest corners in the sport taken almost flat. Overtaking happens mostly into the final chicane at the end of the lap, which is why the grandstands there sell first.

The figure-of-eight crossover near 130R is unique in F1 — worth the walk even without a seat there.
