[@bluesrike]

If this track was still on the calendar, the home stretch would be the longest DRS Zone ever.

[@wahyurohmadhoni1897]

Yah with 1,55 km main straight length

[@dink7458]

Longer than baku?

[@bluesrike]

@@dink7458 Yep, longer than Baku.

[@TheJokerit19]

@@bluesrike Wrong, Baku's stretch from the last proper corner until the first corner is longer than the S/F straight of Fuji Speedway. Longer both in distance and time spent on full throttle.

[@Anon24052]

@@TheJokerit19 But that’s not what they’re talking about. They’re talking about the actual straight.

[@shawnmarcum8078]

What a good race track. Just not Suzuka. But Japan knows how to make good race tracks.

[@koox8108]

Suzuka is good but not racing wise, fuji is a good track because you can overtake almost everywhere because the tarmac so wide, Suzuka is a test track

[@noobednatherium4082]

@@koox8108 yeah sure not racing wise, seen the 2005 Japanese Grand prix? Or the 1988 Japanese Grand Prix? Or the 2003 Japanese Grand Prix?

[@xrhadamanthxx2170]

This is one of my favourite f1 onboards, really like the car/track combination and Hamiltons style

[@tjancsika85]

0:24-0:35 insane breaking distance...epic

[@MikkoRantalainen]

It's crazy how later F1 cars can brake compared to GT3 cars!

[@user-xr7yl3oz3i]

I want Toyota back to F1. This track belongs to Toyota actually.

[@TheJokerit19]

0:48 I wish they'd skip the chicane and use the other alternative, a la Algarve this year, making it a high-speed single corner. This three-apex configuration kills the lap flow unnecessarily.

[@mihinkarunaratne]

Agreed

[@lorenzorosso7725]

No i think it's very cool how they have to brake while turning

[@BardhanProductions]

@@lorenzorosso7725disagree, carrying higher speeds into the corner leads to more overtaking chances

[@SuperCartiel]

"Good driving! You qualify for race!" --Namco Pole Position

[@jamesstuart5877]

It's a crime that the drivers don't get trolled by hearing "Prepare to Qualify" at Fuji.

[@jacobolson6145]

Idk if it’s just the main straight or what but I love this track

[@Willie_Pete_Was_Here]

Have the track go straight at 0:48 and the circuit is perfect

[@jacobolson6145]

Willie Pete was here I like the technical bit at the end

[@jwork5680]

The old track is faster than this

[@TheJokerit19]

Belphegore I agree. I always prefer high-speed turns over slower ones.

[@noobednatherium4082]

No

[@BardhanProductions]

Could not agree more

[@masatomatch7511]

すごいな、 異次元の速さだ

[@alanjm1234]

That is a long straight!

went here after watching recent Overtake episode 5 :D

I'm gonna say it I'm gonna say it I'm Gonna Say It I'M GONNA SAY IT better than suzuka Edit: Sorry, I was a doofus when it came to F1 tracks back then. Please ignore.

[@therealconfidentiality7526]

thank you very much, someone needed to say it.

[@stijnbijlsma9370]

Is this the pole lap?

[@SiVlog1989]

Stijn Bijlsma It is indeed, although it counted for nothing as he made a real mess of the race, limping home in a very disappointing 12th place finish. Thus making his fight for the title harder

[@PrimiusLovin]

It's the Pole and still the fastest lap around the track

[@WiggyF1]

@@SiVlog1989 As a Massa fan though at this time Lewis was hit by Massa which compromised his race

[@SiVlog1989]

@@WiggyF1 possibly, but Hamilton was going to be pitting due to the massive flat spots he had on his tyres after locking up at the first corner. In addition, he was given a drive through penalty for his antics at the first corner

[@WiggyF1]

@@SiVlog1989 It didn't help Felipe in the end anyway for the championship so justice I guess was served, thank god there is no longer a race there anymore

[@limpetarch98k]

To think V8s were ANYWHERE as bad as the V6s 😂 Thats as sacrilegous as saying " yeah it would be cool if God was a funkopop "

[@HUE_Larry]

Is that a Tilke track?

[@markweiler2452]

originally not. But tilke designed the current layout for its redesign in 2005 I think it was. So actually it is, yeah.

[@HUE_Larry]

@@markweiler2452 just like Hockenheim?

He should be ashamed of his on-track behaviour at Turn 1. Ran Kimi completely off the track. Awful driving from Hamilton.

[@stanb5716]

got his revenge in silverstone 2018

[@driver8703]

This track is so much better than Suzuka

[@C3lloman]

Is it? In what alternative universe are you living?

[@driver8703]

C3lloman in the universe that likes a track that can fit 2 cars side by side on more than just the front stretch. Suzuka is great for watching cars go round, but absolute shit for racing.

[@prins0109]

Lost in Tennessee what the fuck are you talking about, are you serious?

[@JS-cb2cq]

Agreed, it's a really nice track

[@dink7458]

I like them equally. maybe I like suzuka slightly more but I still miss this track so much.

[@D3dzr]

I did 10 laps in 15 mins with Lotus
