The Suzuka 8 hours is an event like no other. & the 2019 edition didn't disappoint. Here's the inside pass on a crazy race weekend at the 2019 Suzuka 8 hours in Suzuka, Japan.

[@armydog1002]

This should be Netflix next documentary series. Even do one on MotoGP or WSBK. Congrats to Kawasaki!!!

[@AlexNSR90]

For the first time I watched the full 8 hrs streaming this year.. that last lap has been a knife in the heart for all your fans..at the end, the race direction took the right decision! thanks for the movie and greatings from Italy!

[@GUNSLI0LOVE]

Last year's Suzuka was a great race. This year, I can't support him locally, but I support Johnny from afar. Thanks for the excitement. From Johnny fans in Japan

[@maskedmotorsdiy3575]

This documentary is the best 14 minutes of today, cheers!

[@mrgreen9388]

Wretched the hole 8 hours myself it was excellent 👍🏽🇬🇧

[@thecase.archive]

Gila2, sisi lain rea dan wsbk, ternyata kekeluargaannya dapet banget, selama ini gw kira wsbk jauh kelas dari motogp, tp ternyata setelah nonton beberapa video rea disini, bener2 dah kekeluargaan sesama pembalap dan crew erat banget, no drama2.. jadi makin suka nih ama wsbk

[@blipco5]

For fourteen minutes I forgot about the world. Thanks for that and congratulations from the US. 👍💥🎉

1st Johnny, thanks for enterteining us in such difficult times. Cheers from Basque Country. Keep putting videoa

[@RickyJr46]

That was the first 8-Hour I was able to live-stream in California. Watched the whole incredible event, and just when it looked like a sure win, this off-the-hook batshite crazy change of plot! It was past 3am here, I'm proper exhausted and ready to sleep but can't because of the insane ending! Glad you guys got the win. What a great team effort! Stay safe and see you folks soon, I hope!

[@williamgardner940]

Loved reliving this! Also strange seeing young Toprak on the same team as Rea, after what's happened recently! Rock on Rea!

[@hemantkumarbarapatre]

I loved this documentary, at least the recent one to watch during quarantine :)

[@MrMigo028]

You are the best! Rea + Kawasaki = dream team

[@cdmc012599]

Happy to see race direction make the call that should've been made hours prior. Congrats Team Kawi!

[@usmanqureshi4887]

I hope you guys can do it this year, watching this documentary was very emotional to be honest, our good wishes are still with you green team you can do it.

[@gerkav1008]

We're sending strength, stamina and positive thinking from Athens Greece. We will be watching the race on eurosport. Big K gets #1 again!

[@Pillokun]

I am a fan of Jonny Rea, and I have to be honest that I did not follow Suzuka 8h last year, but they did not finish the race from this documentary, they should at least give more info here so that we are a bit wiser from the start instead of forcing us to look for info :P Anyway, Jonathan, when are you going to get to ride a new Ninja, even though yours still is pretty competitive it is pretty old.

[@iTxip]

This race is also the reason Toprak is in yamaha now

[@m_zbrv3967]

Why?

[@chayannel7620]

@@m_zbrv3967 Because Toprak hasn't done a single lap race for Toprak to be angry, disappointed and disgusted.

[@suleymanfe]

Yeah, he was lot better than Haslam, they think he is too fast and too risky. Team didnt say anything just behave like Toprak was not there. Toprak and Kenan got mad and accept Yamaha offer. Even Manuel Pucetti talk for desclade. Also in Krt Toprak will be second rider, now in PataYamaha lead rider.

[@Heavywall70]

I just watched the race over the last two days (8 months late) I had no preference as to who won but WOW that last three minutes!!! I’ll be watching more endurance motorcycle racing in the future.

[@jasoncannadine1553]

What an amazing documentary 👌 great work gents 💪

[@Hayate.s-POV]

I was watching the last corner at the time of that crash. When Mr Haslam picked you up, everyone on the circuit was upset by an unheard of thing. It's a pity that we cannot celebrate you at the award ceremony. The race was postponed for 8 hours this year due to a virus. We look forward to seeing you again. Please be safe.

[@omerkaraarslan4368]

Toprak looks sad...

[@KendineMüşavir]

Ve o günden sonra Toprak kendini Ninja tokatlamaya adadı 😎

[@fightingcarrot]

the editing for this was so on point

[@fudawgable]

Viet Tran bro I agree. I’m into film and this guy killed it with his cuts, music, footage. Sometimes the audio of interviews could have been cleaner. But wow

[@gearnazi9168]

I was gutted when I watch that,I didn’t know you won that is so fricken awesome 👏

[@czierwo]

Absolutely unbelievable. I already knew the outcome, but knowing the back story always helps. Well deserved win with huge bit of luck, and I am sure team Yamaha wasn't mad either. Still strange how the front washed out, almost as if there was something thrown on the track...

[@cascadian19]

These videos are great, thanks Jonny. Crushing finish to a great finish

[@222mph]

Fair play to you Jonathan, I offen wonder what the Japanese think of you. I always remember seeing you set the fastest lap at Suzuka and all the Japanese mechanics with der jaw on the floor. Such a tidy rider and one of the least riders to crash. Class to see that you from only 2 hours up the road from me in Antrim, instead of all the Italian and Spanish riders hi. Fair play to ya lad 👌👌👌

[@jpn8807]

Suzuka in 2019 was very dramatic. The final lap puzzled everything, but race direction was the right decision. All the teams made an effort. Kawasaki's victory impressed all the japanese race fans.

[@SuperIceman44]

I just can't wrap my head around how a DNF was given the title. Can you or ANYONE ELSE please explain. I'm going mad lol

[@imahungrybiker]

You made my day Johnathan. Keep winning mate 😍

[@Gokay9U]

You guys didn't let Toprak to ride. Guess what? Toprak answer it his first ever race with R1 lol

[@FRFM00]

lol true. its still great to be invited. they wanted the win. toprak is definitely the marquez of production motorcycle. but his youthful ways could have spoiled it. but they should have given him a small stint ANYWAY imo. its a big money thing. you cant risk it with a young guy

[@awesomeagnihotrisvlog]

Gökay Uygun I felt bad for him ..

[@erbinbronira9837]

i feel bad for toprak but this is racing his young and in expirience at suzuka..god speed toprak.

[@noeleenbatchelor3736]

Why invite him and not let him ride, they could have used another rider they know will do a great job and taken a lot of pressure and fatigue off the other riders.

[@nzKnut]

KRT crashing it and getting the win due to a rule loophole was too.

[@Mort221]

@@nzKnut It wasn't explained in the video, what specific loophole was it?

[@iTxip]

@@nzKnut explain please, I dont understand how a DNF bike won

[@nzKnut]

@@Mort221 So in all other FIM classes, the bike must be returned to parc ferme within 5 minutes to be declared eligible for the one-lap countback on a red flag race finish. This rule wasn't in the FIM EWC rulebook, so they brought the bike back much later and could still be considered eligible by one lap countback.

[@arghyadipbhowmik5995]

Razgatlioglu in kawsaski🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 No ever thought that this kid could beat Rea

[@markwarrington2788]

Went through the emotions here. When Johnny went down I was gutted. Finally right result came through though. Tough on Toprak though, like to have seen him get a shift.

[@motogte]

Great watch as always.

[@Brenton1000]

Deleted my last comment when i saw it who’s channel it was. Not sure i agree with the result - crash out and still win but rules are rules!

[@j-riderrr2703]

The fault was from Masson, you can't go back to the track with a blown engine, very irresponsible and team kawasaki was doing everything right during all the race. Losing everything in the last lap due to the fault (negligent, not accidental) of other rider is very unfair don't you think? In my opinion Masson should have been sanctioned if they haven't already, same with any rider who does that. Cheers.

[@MrKdr500]

All the other riders agreed that Kawasaki deserved it so what makes your opinion special?

[@krillonusa]

Can someone explain why did they end up winning the race although he crashed on the last lap?

[@42kwaka]

Because the suzuki bike blew an engine and spilt oil all over the track. Took two riders to crash on spilt oil to bring out a red flag, then when they brought out the red flag they didnt display it where johnathon was at the time. Was a very delayed response to bring the flags out in the first place. The suzuki rider rid on the track nearly half a lap smoke and oil pissing out of the bike
