Suzuka is definitely in my top 5 list for favorite tracks I love driving it in simulators and it works with any car from a normal road car to F1 it is super enjoyable and satisfying to get right
Suzuka is the only F1 track Ive been to, I was 8 at the time and was pretty pumped when my dad told us that we'd be staying at a race track and at a motor racing themed hotel no less. Theres a theme park nearby and a karting track though at the time I had no knowledge of how racing works I thought that they would go around the circuit itself. We just went to see the sakura blossom, not for the race itself.
Thanks for uploading the great content.👍 I'm going to Suzuka this weekend and this has given me a great prep for the race. I am thrilled to see Mick driving on the track Michael loved. 🇯🇵🏎
Yes, the Honda logo will return to the Red Bull cars for the Japanese GP (and for the rest of the year)! Honda is of course based out of Tokyo and it’s a huge point of national pride and they didn’t get to see the white Honda livery last year. For Max to clinch the title at Honda’s home crowd will be fantastic but it’s still a long shot. Everything has to go perfect….a win with fastest lap I believe, or a win WITH Charles not in second…a goal that may require Checo to play a critical part in achieving, and a chance for Sainz to help Leaclerc get to P2. A tall order but Suzuka is always interesting. It’s pretty narrow; grid place will be critical.
I moved to Japan five years ago just so I could shoot at Suzuka. My favorite part of the track is the hairpin turn. This weekend promises to be wet so I’m taking my duck gear.
This my absolute favorite track for GT500 cars in gran turismo VR. For lower powered cars I like Tsukuba a lot. For F1 in simulators my favorite is Monza
Idk what people in other regions think about this but I wish they raced at night for races in east Asia and Australia, that way I don't have to wake up at 2 am to watch it
2am is very chill. A bunch of my US friends consistently get up at 5 am just to watch many of the races, and people in other places in the world have even worse times. 2am is super easy in comparison
Great Last Year Video Before The Formula 1® Lenovo* Japanese Grand Prix 2023, Mate! 👏 * = Should Be Fuji Television Or At Least Honda. 20/09/2023 12:29.
Makes me laugh how senna got away with punting prost off the track and everyone's cool with it.(beside prost fans of course) yet if any one of the two current big drivers taking either themselves out or a completely different driver (you know who I'm on about) ....there'd be a shit storm
Well…to be fair if ANY of the major drivers took ANYONE out, it would be one of the most dramatic moments of the season…and in a season with very few crashes where a driver takes out another driver, that drama would be expanded. That’s why even an ‘Almost’ collision between Max and Lando at Singapore was enough to get tongues wagging, despite nothing happening and the crisis being averted.
Most people feel Senna forcing that crash was justified based on the year before he got the championship taken from him after Prost crashed into him purposefully ending his own race and when Ayrton tried to keep going he was disqualified from the race, the championship, was fined $100,000, and also had his racing license suspended. Robbed of a world championship and treated like the villain afterwards by the FIA.
@@iFlickdown I don't think the crash the year before was anywhere near as bad as that one. It was stupid. But it wasn't spearing into someone at full tilt
I actually vehemently dislike BOTH the old Germany Hockenheim and the new Hockenheim circuit: The old circuit is too fast and has very very few chicanes; it's mostly straight. The new Hockenheim is far too slow and short and has way too many sharp chicanes. Just my opinion. I like the Germany Neurbergring much much more...
F1 cars should be smaller as in 2002, all tracks would make greater racing. Suzuka, Imola, COTA, Interlagos.. old school styled tracks would show amazing battles much more often. We all want the same karting-like sport, with lots of overtaking all the way to the end.
Honestly I don't like Suzuka very much. I hate it on the f1 games, and I cannot remember a good race I've watched from the top of my head, even though I started watchhing in 2010
The track would be much better if it was 30% wider and they reprofiled the turns after widening to keep the same average speed (much easier said than done though)
i dont think it needs changing,F1 isnt the centre of the universe,other chategories race there and they are great..F1 cars need changing,but my idea is till then why not move to Fuji? its a wide speedway plus somewhat historic
Always loved Suzuka. One of the reasons is that it's a rare mid-day GP, not evening, not night. Also one of the tracks where I could've name every corner.
a friend told me while playing assetto corsa that once you've had a decent lap in suzuka on games, you'll have a good grasp on every other track and he's right
Suzuka is brilliant. Undoubetly on the very same level if not higher than Spa-Francorchamps. But I like Mt.Fuji. I really love the extreme height-difference in Sector 3 and 100R onto that long, right hand straight is phenomenal. Basically every car get's to it's Top Speed on the Start-Finish Straight and get the braking zone correct at the end is incredibly hard, but fun and rewarding. If Las Vegas suceeds, I hope to see Fuji back. Nothing tops that Mountain/former Vulcano in the Background.
Yeah I agree with you I like Fuji more as well the final corners before the straight is very technical and hard to get right. In my experience the reason great tracks don't get as much attention as some other tracks is how the bystanders and spectators feel on the ground. Sometimes, some tracks are just boring to watch from the sides. Don't know how Fuji would feel for the spectators. However, Suzuka is really awesome too.
so sad the cars are outgrowing suzuka honestly,i expect a pretty calm race if there isn't rain,or maybe a strategy race and i say Suzuka is the Spa of asia,and Fuji is the Monza of Asia and the width of Fuji makes me thing should F1 strongly consider going to Fuji
Exspacially if Las Vegas suceeds, since it got a similary fantastic skyline and extremely long straight but nowhere near as great height-difference, if at all.
Agreed, Suzuka is the bomb. Such a great combination of curves, braking areas and straights. Each corner has a distinct feel to it that isn't replicated on any other track.
To keep the car efficient, you have to trim as much wing as possible while still having enough front end to get through the corners. There's a lot of flat out sections and only so much ERS usage, especially over a race distance. A little bit of efficiency goes a long way over 53 laps.
Tbh, Suzuka isn't as great anymore. The circuit has become difficult to overtake on thanks to the huge cars and the thrill and skill of the 130R has also been lost with all these high downforce cars. Back in the 2000s it was still a really tough corner to master but today it looks much easier. I like it for qualifying, but it's complete rubbish for good Sunday races. Also, the "last corner" where Prost and Senna collided isn't even the true last corner anymore - they shortened it a bit and it's a shame, I prefered the old one more.
Cool video... But do you really think Verstappen will wrap it up in Japan? I just can't imagine Leclerc and Perez will score so low. But I know, Max will be world champion this year anyway eventually.
A win + the fastest lap will suffice nevermind what others do. While a win will surely be likely I think he might miss the fastest lap... at least there will be several cars interested in taking that away from him. 😄
Sepang, Malaysia is one of my top 5 rated and top 5 fav. F1 tracks I've ever raced on the PC: Gritty, bumpy, unusual turns, challenging......but wide open and very fun to race. I think it's an 'acquired taste' track; you like it or don't.
Such a great track indeed... lost a bit relevance in being decisive (this weekend notwithstanding) because they kept adding races after it and extending the calendar past October. The past few races there have been average but it's not the track that is at fault.
Suzuka is easily my favorite track. I love driving it on a sim, nailing a lap in any car is so satisfying, but especially an f1 car. Sometimes I giggle after nailing one. The fans are amazing too, which creates a wonderful atmosphere.
@@piuthemagicman despite he improved signifacantly, last year ad start had him man he had soft tyre in order to get a big start but hamilton with medium reacted much more quicker he definately get the pole in japan tough
Through out the years I've struggled to get a good setup for suzuka always. And I am on controller. But when you find the sweet spot. It's amazing. On gt sport i did a time trial with almost all the street cars with comfort soft tyres. Has everything fast corners slow corners amazing place Would leave to see F1 return to Fugi, long straight and high speed corners. Overtaking sport are plenty
I actually have the rfactor "Suzuka GP4 3" track. Being a PC sim racer, I have raced the Suzuka track many times (virtually all on the PC game "F1 Challenge: '99-'02)...but not for many years, until just now. I rate Suzuka as very easily one of the best Formula 1 tracks that exists: Ironically, Suzuka is not one of my favorites F1 tracks...primarily if not only because racing it on the keyboard (I've never owned an analog steering wheel) is EXTRAORDINARILY-CHALLENGING.....but so challenging that it is also 'quasi-fun.' This Japanese circuit is stellar and unique: The track 'crosses over itself' (probably at the very least a 'rarity' in car racing), has some of the most challenging, unique, and varied turns of any circuit that I can think of...and also has a Ferris Wheel (and a roller coaster as well?) on the track, to boot. The track surface, though not particularly 'bumpy,' seems somewhat less 'grippy'-> (as Bear Grylls would say) and hence a little 'slicker' and more 'slippy'-> (as Bear Grylls would say) than most other Formula 1 tracks. It also creates a big challenge given the fact that the track width isn't very great; somewhat more narrow, if not significantly more so than other F1 tracks: It is extraordinarily difficult to keep the Formula 1 car on the road surface throughout an entire lap, using the keyboard to drive. To reiterate, I opine that Suzuka is a superbly-designed and ultra-challenging circuit.
The potential fact for this championship is that Max Verstappen could win his championship, Honda is sponsoring that race and powering both Red Bull and AlphaTauri and it's increasing the presence again...on the other hand, the FIA financial report could derail that championship....
I don’t know why Suzuka gets a pass for having shitty racing, when places like Monaco have much more history and still get eviscerated by the fans. Suzuka is fine, I guess, but Fuji is much better and I would gladly sacrifice Suzuka to keep Monaco, Spa, and Silverstone. Hell, I’d even take Hockenheim over it.
People who drink the Tilke Kool-Aid will reflexively complain about the racing any time an old-school circuit is brought up without actually observing the product. You can pass about anywhere around the lap, and Leclerc demonstrated last time out that you can even do it in the massive, hybrid limousines we're stuck with today. Yes, the overtakes at this track are spectacular and brave most of the time, but why should that count against it? Driving from the back to the front in an F1 race isn't supposed to be so easy a caveman can do it.
Suzuka is definitely in my top 5 list for favorite tracks I love driving it in simulators and it works with any car from a normal road car to F1 it is super enjoyable and satisfying to get right
Totally agree.
Suzuka has always been one of my favourites - it's great on Gran Turismo in touring cars even though it is a real challenge.
Suzuka is the only F1 track Ive been to, I was 8 at the time and was pretty pumped when my dad told us that we'd be staying at a race track and at a motor racing themed hotel no less.

Suzuka is my favorite track. In sim racing its the gift that keeps on giving.
Its either Suzuka or Spa, both are excellent.
They're the two Ss in SS tier
Spa is garbage. Suzuka is goat.
@@josesammut9396 What is it about Spa that you don't like?
My fav track ... so much fun to race on this on a sim!
Most people: modern day cars are kinda big
Pers: *THICC*
pers means ass in Finnish lol
I love having a race start at midnight my time
The MotoGP should race at Suzuka Circuit while Formula One is to race at Twin Ring Motegi Circuit
I moved to Japan five years ago just so I could shoot at Suzuka. My favorite part of the track is the hairpin turn. This weekend promises to be wet so I’m taking my duck gear.
Nice video Pers!
This my absolute favorite track for GT500 cars in gran turismo VR. For lower powered cars I like Tsukuba a lot.
For F1 in simulators my favorite is Monza
Tskuba x F1? Would be carnage!
Love that track, but its too small for f1
@@SladeDHJ as OP said
CARNAGE
Very very nice outro👌👌
Idk what people in other regions think about this but I wish they raced at night for races in east Asia and Australia, that way I don't have to wake up at 2 am to watch it
2am is very chill. A bunch of my US friends consistently get up at 5 am just to watch many of the races, and people in other places in the world have even worse times. 2am is super easy in comparison
The rest of the world has to wake up at bizarre times. What goes around comes around…literally. (Unless you’re a flat earther)
Needless energy consumption. And lets face it, the circuits look much better in daytime.
Suzuka is top tier, for sure. Along with Sepang. I guess Spa is there, too.
Suzuka awesum
I miss Sepang A LOT. Multi 21!!!!
I love Suzuka cause I’m Aussie and it starts at 4pm
Suzuka is where I learned how to play F1 with a controller more efficiently.
You get Yeet out of the narrow track so easily here
I feel like the Japanese account for everything when it comes to hosting a race. I bet its super clean organized and fun, like the rest of the nation.
It's also one one of the most affordable, ticket wise.
I like the Mark Webber intro

no one ever mentions aida circuit
Great track but I feel like it's one of the worst to drive on the f1 game with a controller
It's a shame that F1 don't race in Sepang anymore.
No McLaren on podium? I mean idk but they do be going fast and they go new car...
Abu Dhabi instead of Monaco or Spa?? You are crazy
The testing track should be Suzuka not Barcelona.
Hey Pete's senna just got payback from .the 1989 wen prose wreck him

It’s not, Suzuka is gash, Spa is the number 1, end of story
That’s going to be the worst track for ferrari 😭😭

Always loved Suzuka. One of the reasons is that it's a rare mid-day GP, not evening, not night. Also one of the tracks where I could've name every corner.
The named corners definitely help to make it memorable because you can only be talking about one place rather than just one of many turn 10s.
a friend told me while playing assetto corsa that once you've had a decent lap in suzuka on games, you'll have a good grasp on every other track and he's right
Yeah 100% agree. While playing F1, me and a friend were saying if you’re fast at Suzuka you can be fast on any track
This is so true, i’m fast on Suzuka and tracks like Silverstone or Sepang is just so much easier for me and it’s easy to be fast on other tracks
Still remember 2000gp when Schumacher won his first title with ferrari
Suzuka is such a fun track in any tier of motorsport. I can turn laps endlessly in the sim lol

Ok but realistically…
