鈴鹿サーキット

The Japanese Grand Prix takes place at Suzuka Circuit on Sunday with championship leader Jenson Button from Britain hoping to clinch his first ever overall title.

Practice was disrupted by rain on Friday with more bad weather in the Nagoya area forecast (wrongly!) for Saturday, though race day on Sunday should be clear and dry.




The 5.8km Suzuka circuit is a classic figure of 8 track with an overpass and has seen some classic races in the past. Suzuka will host the 2010 and 2011 races after Fuji Speedway dropped out of the F1 calendar after hosting the Japanese Grand Prix in 2007 and 2008.

Suzuka hosts other motor sport events and the Suzuka Street Car Festival.

Suzuka is in Mie Prefecture not far from Nagoya city by public transport. Take a Kintetsu or JR train from Nagoya Station or Osaka Station. Shiroko Station has shuttle buses to the track. Alternatively change at Yokkaichi and take an infrequent Ise Tetsudo Line train to Suzuka Circuit Ino. Then a 20 minute walk.

If driving from Nagoya or Tokyo take the Tomei Expressway and exit at the Suzuka IC. From Osaka take the Shin Meishin Expressway and exit at the Kameyama IC.

The 12th annual Street Car National Event was held on June 1 of 2008 and was enjoyed by record numbers of car enthusiasts. The event attracts a wide variety of people ranging from young singles, to families and retirees.

Appropriately located near the Suzuka Circuit Speedway (of F1 fame) the cars (over 500 of them) are displayed on the Auto Camp Field. While billed as primarily featuring Japanese and American customized cars, models from many other countries may be seen.



The level and quality of customization are truly amazing, matched only by colorful presenters and spectators. Food services are available featuring an international mix of "fast food". The event closes with a contest and the announcement of winners in several categories.



Entrance fees are: ¥1,700 for adults (¥1,400 advance sales) ¥800 for children not yet in high school. (¥700 advance sales) Pre-school children (up to a group of three) are free.



The event is held for one day only from 9am-3pm.
