The Suzuka circuit is, without doubt, one of the most exciting races on the F1 calendar and also one of the most consequential events in the history of the sport. The Japanese Grand Prix has been raced on 36 occasions, and amazingly on no less than 13 occasions, an F1 World Championship was decided here.
The first race at the location is considered one of the most famous grand prix events of all time. The clash saw Niki Lauda and long-term rival James Hunt fight it out for the spoils, and the Austrian driver entered the race three points ahead of his British rival, and this set the stage for a thrilling encounter.
Hunt needed to finish ahead of Lauda by at least a couple of positions, and he ended up doing just that during a race that took place in hazardous conditions, with rain and fog affecting visibility and control.
Lauda crashed out after just two laps, but Hunt had to remain safely on the track as well as finish at least in fifth place, and he managed to do just that in hugely exciting fashion.
Of all the drivers to have to competed at the Japanese Grand Prix, is it perhaps German legend Michael Schumacher who has the greatest connection to the Suzuka circuit, which is based near Nagoya, having won the race an astonishing six times between 1995 and 2004.
The capacity of the Suzuka circuit is 155,000.
