    The Suzuka International Racing course is a circuit that hosts the Japanese round of the Formula 1 World Championship. The track, designed by Dutchman John "Hans" Hugenholtz, was build in 1961 and originated as a Honda test venue. Suzuka is one of few circuits in the world to have a "figure 8" layout.

    "Suzuka is a beautiful but difficult track to drive. You really have to nail the corner sequences. This circuit is extra special to me as it is the first time I drove an F1 car during a Grand Prix weekend."
