The reason why the Suzuka Circuit has become one of the world's most famous tracks is not only because it used to be the final race of the F1 season, keeping the championship suspenseful and drawing more attention.
It's also due to the track's design itself, which is extremely excellent and distinctive.
The "8" figure-eight layout means drivers will experience both clockwise and counterclockwise sensations on the same track.
Additionally, the vertical drop of up to 40.4 meters makes the feelings of uphill and downhill on the track quite pronounced, so much so that an overpass can be built at the "8" figure crossing point.
Particularly the iconic 130R left turn, where the full-throttle cornering speed reaches as high as 320 km/h, poses a significant challenge to both the car and the driver. Over half a century, including motorcycle races, a total of 17 drivers have lost their lives here.
