Join Japan’s hardcore motorsport fans at Suzuka

The Japanese Grand Prix at the Suzuka International Circuit is a hugely popular race amongst F1 fans. Whether it’s the ‘S Curves’ of sector one that get wider turn by turn, the long Spoon Curve or the legendary quick 130R, it’s a real racer’s track.

Plus, they're the cheapest F1 tickets on the calendar!

The Suzuka Circuit has been the scene of some incredible races. Kimi Raikkonen entertained the fans in 2005 after starting 17th on the grid, and snatching the lead on the very final lap to win the race. While racing at this track is a spectacle in itself, the fans add to the atmosphere, with most yearning for a glimpse of their racing heroes. This race epitomises Formula 1’s global reach, and an opportunity to experience a new culture while enjoying the action. 

Speaking of culture, Japan and its buzzing capital Tokyo is a place of incredible extremes that offers a once in a lifetime opportunity for visitors.

Ramen and sushi fans, eat your heart out. Tokyo has more Michelin-starred restaurants than any other city in the world, but the street vendors will also provide authentic, mouth watering Japanese cuisine at budget prices.

Don't expect street and shop signs to helpfully be in English, and every second person to be able to help you with directions. This, combined with the futuristic neon lights of the city, mean that visitors from the West often liken visiting Tokyo to visiting another planet, an experience which is not common in an increasingly globalised world.

Tourists can also be encouraged by Tokyo's extremely low crime rate and very efficient public transport.

Formula 1 is the perfect excuse to step into the unknown and broaden your cultural horizons.
