The story behind the line
From Honda’s ambition to racing history.
Suzuka opened in 1962 in Japan’s Mie Prefecture. Soichiro Honda wanted a test circuit for his company, and Dutch designer John Hugenholtz helped give that ambition its enduring shape: a course that crosses over itself.
Formula 1 arrived in 1987. Suzuka soon became a setting for championship drama, with the collisions between Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost in 1989 and 1990 among its most remembered moments. For many fans, its outline recalls the races that first made them fall in love with the sport.

Recognisable, corner by corner
The rhythm of the figure eight.
The full car circuit measures 5.807 km. Its crossover gives the outline an unusual balance, while the sequence of corners gives each part of the lap its own character.
- The Esses
- A flowing sequence early in the lap, where each change of direction sets up the next.
- Degner
- Two right-hand turns that demand precise positioning and braking.
- Spoon Curve
- A double-apex left-hander whose exit shapes the run down the back straight.
- 130R
- The famous fast left-hand corner before the final chicane.
