didn't u see the speed of the cars at each curve?? i mean it's magnificent!
i'd watch the "S" curves all day and still have so much fun.....
the only thing about suzuka that it must be a little bit wider, and we'll get another SPA on the calender

I did see it.

But if I have a choice of looking at cars doing corners at great speed in line or cars fighting for positions with less speed, I'd choose the latter. 8)

Thanks for the maps of Fuji, Ciro. That original layout looks like it would be a fun race. Especially 300R. I don't recall seing a race at Fuji, when was it last on the schedule?

1977.

When the crash between Gilles Villeneuve and Ronnie Petterson caused the death of two spectators. :cry:

I don't think there was a japanese GP 20 years ago (1986).

Fuji 76-77
Suzuka 87-06
Fuji 07-

Fuji also had races outside the championship from 66-76 and Suzuka 63-64.


You're right, GV died 1982. I didn't say he died in the '77 crash. ;)
