  • What makes the Japanese GP one of the best F1 races on the F1 schedule? The 2024 Japanese gp at the Suzuka circuit is one of the most amazing and cheapest F1 races on the 2024 F1 calendar. This old school F1 circuit presents real racing to die hard F1 fans. But is the Japanese GP the best F1 race to attend?

    Last year the insect hotels at 'Buzzin Corner' were at turn 2. This year they've moved to their new permanent location at Yamada Bee Farm in Okayama.

    The crazy thing for me is, in the south west of England, it makes a great deal of financial sense to go to Suzuka to watch the gp, rather than silverstone in the U.K.
    after you’ve accounted for ticket prices, you can justify the plane fare, and you’d have to eat sleep and drink around the track wherever you are anyway.
    My partner and I are planning to go next year as my man maths has convinced her that it’s effectively a free trip to Japan in cherry blossom season!

    I went to Suzuka in 1995 and the last race in Adelaide as part of a trip from the UK along with a trip to Perth which is where I grew up. There was an earth quake in Kobe early in the year and this meant the Pacific GP was postponed to a week prior to the Japanese GP. I extended my trip for another week.

    Suzuka is great. Enjoy the positive vibes from fans, travel a bit afterwards... I knew why there was a 2 week gap between Australia - all the drivers were in early, skiing in Hokkaido hanging out in Tokyo etc

    Thanks for the great vid Kim! I totally agree with you.
    Suzuka Circuit is a good family oriented racetrack. Women can also safely watch the race alone. Fans do not get drunk and cause a commotion, so you can enjoy watching races with people who really like racing. Even after the race, there is almost no trash on the grandstands.

      Indeed it is. I went there in 1995 for the Pacific and then the Japanese GPs. At Aids they did not need security at the stands but they did so at Suzuka.
      Some guys wanted me to swap seats but I had a decent view at turn 1 and they wanted me to move lower down. At Suzuka I was towards the back of the small first stand. My seat was the one closest to the first turn with just a walk way to my right. Some guy decided to sit on the walk way blocking my view. He got a tug on his coat along with a gesture to move away.

      Back in 1995 there was a Pacific GP at Aida early in the year and the Japanese GP later in the year. There was an earthquake in Kobe and they postponed the race to a week before the Japanese GP. I had a trip planned for the Japanese and Australian GPs (the last race in Adelaide) so I extended my trip by a week to take in all three races in a trip from the UK that also includes a stop in Perth the city I grew up in.

    @teamredgutz399 6 місяців тому +1

    I think it is for the Legends Package that gives you a 1 day pass to the F1 Paddock itself, priority access to the podium ceremony in three days in the paddock club. At Suzuka it costs $8699. At every race I’m aware of it’s more expensive than that. At many other races it is much more expensive than that.
    Paddock Club is $6399 which again is just about as low as it gets these days in F1 - not that that’s cheap but it’s a lot more money in some other races.
    Similarly, less expensive for grandstand seats

    Cheapest race is available globally. Sit back and legs up in a recliner. Full f1 coverage replays commentary from sky sports. Lights out and away we go....no weather issues crowds and missed action. Pit action and radio calls. Slomo. Pause for a loo break...Been to track and its not even close.

    I was on the verge of a last minute purchase of a plane ticket from Perth to Japan but chickened out at the last minute when I saw the lines for transport from Nagoya to Suzuka are two hours BEFORE you get on the train, then it’s an hour to the track. Basically a day consists of 6 hours waiting in line or travelling and 4-5 hours at the track! Hmmmm…
