Track of The Month – October 2017

Suzuka, Japan

This October, The Race Centre’s Track of the Month is the legendary Suzuka circuit in Japan. Formula 1’s only figure of eight circuit, Suzuka is a 5.8 kilometre track, and debuted on the Formula 1 calendar in 1987. A favourite for both fans and drivers, Suzuka is home to some of the most iconic corners in Formula 1, including the Esses, Spoon corner and 130R, currently the fastest corner in the sport. Make sure to come down to The Race Centre this month to experience Suzuka for yourself.

Take a look at a flying lap of Suzuka onboard with Fernando Alonso, a two time winner of the Japanese Grand Prix.

We hope you enjoy this fantastic circuit and the cars we have chosen!
