Fuji Speedway

Fuji Speedway (富士スピードウェイ, Fuji Supīdowei) is a motorsport race track standing in the foothills of Mount Fuji, in Oyama, Suntō District, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. It was built in the early 1960s. In the 1980s, Fuji Speedway was used for the FIA World Sportscar Championship and national racing. Originally managed by Mitsubishi Estate Co., Fuji Speedway was acquired by Toyota Motor Corporation in 2000. The circuit hosted the Formula One Japanese Grand Prix in 2007 after an absence of nearly 30 years, replacing the Suzuka Circuit owned by Honda.[2] After Fuji Speedway hosted the 2008 race, the Japanese Grand Prix returned to Suzuka for races from 2009 onward. The Super GT Fuji 500 km race is held at the racetrack on Golden Week.[3]

Fuji Speedway has one of the longest straights in motorsport, at 1.475 km (0.917 mi) in length.[4] The circuit has an FIA Grade 1 license.[5]

History

1963–79: F1 launches in Japan

Fuji Speedway Corporation was established in 1963 as Japan NASCAR Corporation. At first, the circuit was planned to hold NASCAR-style races in Japan. Therefore, the track was originally designed to be a 4.000 km (2.485 mi) banked superspeedway, but there was not enough money to complete the project and only one of the bankings was completed. Mitsubishi Estate Co. invested in the circuit and took over the reins of management in October 1965.

Converted to a road course, the circuit opened in December 1965 and proved to be somewhat dangerous, with the wide banked turn (named "Daiichi") regularly resulting in major accidents. Vic Elford said:

"In 1969 I spent two months in Japan doing a test contract for Toyota and their Toyota 7 (5 litre V-8), which along with a big Nissan (6.3 litre V-12), was destined for CanAm. My last testing and then the subsequent Sports Car GP were at Fuji, but the track was run in a clockwise direction. The reason that banking was so horrific, was that at the end of the straight we went over a blind crest at around 190/200 mph and dropped into the banking. At other tracks (Daytona, Montlhéry, etc.) you climb up the banking. One of the results was that although there were many brave Japanese drivers there were not too many with great skill and the death toll from that one corner was horrendous. To such an extent that the big Gp 7 cars were then banned in Japan and thus, neither Nissan or Toyota ever made it to CanAm."

After a fatal accident in 1974 on the Daiichi banking where drivers Hiroshi Kazato and Seiichi Suzuki were both killed in a fiery accident that injured 6 other people, a new part of track was built to counteract the problem, and the resultant 4.359 km (2.709 mi) course, which also eliminated 5 other fast corners, proved more successful. In 1966, the track hosted a USAC Indy Car non-championship race, won by Jackie Stewart. The track had a 24-hour race in 1967.[6]

The speedway brought the first Formula One race to Japan at the end of the 1976 season. The race had a dramatic World Championship battle between James Hunt and Niki Lauda, and in rainy conditions, Hunt earned enough points to win the title. Mario Andretti won the race, with Lauda withdrawing due to the dangerous conditions.

In 1977, Gilles Villeneuve was involved in a crash that killed two spectators on the side of the track, leading to Formula One leaving the speedway. When Japan earned another race on the F1 schedule ten years later, it went to Suzuka instead. The Grand Prix returned to Fuji in 2007 following its renovation.

1980–2000: National racing venue

 
Fuji Speedway former layouts: Red 1965–1974, Blue 1975–1985, Green 1986–2004
 
The abandoned "30° Bank" of the old track

Fuji remained a popular sports car racing venue; the FIA World Sportscar Championship visited the track between 1982 and 1988 and it was often used for national races. Speeds continued to be very high, and two chicanes were added to the track: one after the first hairpin corner, the second at the entry to the wide, fast final turn (300R). Even with these changes, the main feature of the track remained its approximately 1.5 km (0.93 mi) long straight, one of the longest in all of motorsports.

The long pit straight has also been utilised for drag racing. NHRA exhibitions were run in 1989, and in 1993 Shirley Muldowney ran a 5.30 on the quarter-mile strip at Fuji. Local drag races are common on the circuit, at both 440 yd (402.336 m) & 1,000 ft (304.800 m) distances.

The track continued to be used for Japanese national races. Plans to host a CART event in 1991 were abandoned due to conflicts with the Fédération Internationale du Sport Automobile. It was not until the autumn of 2000 that the majority of the stocks of the track were bought by Toyota from Mitsubishi Estate[7] as part of its motor racing plans for the future.

On May 3, 1998, there was a multi-car crash during a parade lap before a JGTC race caused by the safety car slowing in torrential rain.[8] Ferrari driver Tetsuya Ota suffered serious burns over his entire body after being trapped in his car for almost 90 seconds,[9] and Porsche driver Tomohiko Sunako fractured his right leg.[9]

2001–present: renovations

In 2003, the circuit was closed down to accommodate a major reprofiling of the track, using a new design from Hermann Tilke. The track was reopened on April 10, 2005, and hosted its first Formula One championship event in 29 years on September 30, 2007. In circumstances similar to Fuji's first Grand Prix in 1976, the race was run in heavy rain and mist and the first 19 laps were run under the safety car, in a race won by Lewis Hamilton.

 
Rebuilt grandstand in the 2000s

The circuit has hosted the Nismo Festival for historic Nissan racers since refurbishment in 2003; the event previously took place at Okayama.[citation needed] When the festival returned in 2005, the organisers allowed circuit owner Toyota to bring in their Toyota 7 CanAm racer to re-enact an old Japanese GP battle. Toyota also hosts its own historic event a week before the NISMO festival called the Toyota Motorsports Festival. Close to the circuit is a drifting course, which was built as part of the refurbishment under the supervision of "Drift King" Keiichi Tsuchiya and former works driver and Super GT team manager Masanori Sekiya. There is a Toyota Safety Education Center and a mini circuit. In addition to motorsports, Fuji also hosts the Udo Music Festival.

The only time the circuit is run on a reverse direction is during the D1 Grand Prix round, as Keiichi Tsuchiya felt the new layout meant reduced entry speed, making it less suitable for drifting.[10] The series has hosted its rounds since 2003; with the exception of the 2004 closure, the circuit became the first to take place on an international level racetrack[10] and the first of the three to take place on an F1 circuit. The drift course starts from the 300R section and ends past the Coca-Cola corner. With the reprofiling, as cars no longer run downbank, entry speeds have since been reduced, the hill at the exit making acceleration difficult.[10] As part of the 2003 renovations, most of the old banked section of track was demolished. Only a small section remains to this day.

Fuji Speedway was announced to host the finish of the road cycling races at the 2020 Summer Olympics and 2020 Summer Paralympics.[11]

2007 and 2008 Japanese Grands Prix

During the 2007 Japanese Grand Prix, Fuji Speedway met with a lot of problems, including the paralysis of the transportation network provided by the shuttle buses, poor facilities including some reserved seats without a view, lack of organization, and expensive meals such as simple lunch boxes being sold for 10,000 yen (US$87) at the circuit.[12][13]

Newspaper accounts of the event also alleged problems with Toyota bias and control. The circuit prohibited spectators from setting up flags and banners to support teams and drivers,[14][15] with the exception of the Toyota F1 team.[16] Therefore, there were very few flags and banners in the event compared with other Grand Prix events.[17][18]

For the 2008 Japanese Grand Prix race, organizers responded to lessons learned the previous year by reducing the total number of spectators allowed at the event. Compared to 140,000 persons allowed for Sunday events in 2007, attendance was restricted to 110,000.[19] Additionally, walkways and spectator facilities were improved, along with larger screens.[20] However, the race was also affected by rainy weather, which has historically interfered in a number of past races at the circuit, and later in 2013, led to interference with a 6-hour endurance race at the track for the FIA World Endurance Championship.

Following both poor ticket sales and weather, it was decided by FOM that the FIA Japanese Grand Prix would be shared between Fuji and Suzuka on alternate years, with Suzuka holding the next race on Sunday, October 4, 2009. After the global recession and its own operational deficit, Toyota decided to discontinue the hosting of Japanese Grand Prix since 2010.[21]

2020 Summer Olympics

During the 2020 Summer Olympics, which due to the COVID-19 pandemic were postponed to 2021, the speedway was a venue and finish for the cycling races:

2022: Fuji Motorsports Forest

In April 2022, Toyota announced the construction of the "Fuji Motorsports Forest", which Toyota Fudosan [ja], a real-estate company of Toyota Group, was pushing forward as the "Motorsports Village" project until then. The project precedes the completion of the Shin-Tōmei Expressway and smart interchange near the circuit.

With the regional redevelopment plan centered on Fuji Speedway, the Fuji Speedway Hotel (operated by Hyatt) including the Fuji Motorsports Museum was built on the west side of the circuit and opened in October 2022.

Corners

This is the official listing of the twelve corners that make up the current circuit layout, in use since 2005. Only some corners have Japanese names, most of which are a result of sponsorship agreements. The rest are named after the radius of the corner in metres.

 
The sixth corner hairpin
  1. TGR Corner (27R)
  2. 75R
  3. Coca-Cola Corner (80R)
  4. Toyopet (100R)
  5. Advan Corner (30R)
  6. 120R
  7. 300R
  8. Dunlop Corner (15R)
  9. 30R
  10. 45R
  11. GR Supra Corner (25R)
  12. Panasonic Corner (12R)

The Dunlop corner differs with the configuration used. In the full configuration, it consists of a tight right hairpin turn followed by a left-right flick. In the GT course, it is a medium-speed right-hander, bypassing turns 11 and 12.

Speedway Corporation was established in 1963 as Japan NASCAR Corporation At first the circuit was planned to hold NASCAR style races in Japan Therefore the track was originally designed to be a 4 000 km 2 485 mi banked superspeedway but there was not enough money to complete the project and only one of the bankings was completed Mitsubishi Estate Co invested in the circuit and took over the reins of management in October 1965 Converted to a road course the circuit opened in December 1965 and proved to be somewhat dangerous with the wide banked turn named Daiichi regularly resulting in major accidents Vic Elford said In 1969 I spent two months in Japan doing a test contract for Toyota and their Toyota 7 5 litre V 8 which along with a big Nissan 6 3 litre V 12 was destined for CanAm My last testing and then the subsequent Sports Car GP were at Fuji but the track was run in a clockwise direction The reason that banking was so horrific was that at the end of the straight we went over a blind crest at around 190 200 mph and dropped into the banking At other tracks Daytona Montlhery etc you climb up the banking One of the results was that although there were many brave Japanese drivers there were not too many with great skill and the death toll from that one corner was horrendous To such an extent that the big Gp 7 cars were then banned in Japan and thus neither Nissan or Toyota ever made it to CanAm After a fatal accident in 1974 on the Daiichi banking where drivers Hiroshi Kazato and Seiichi Suzuki were both killed in a fiery accident that injured 6 other people a new part of track was built to counteract the problem and the resultant 4 359 km 2 709 mi course which also eliminated 5 other fast corners proved more successful In 1966 the track hosted a USAC Indy Car non championship race won by Jackie Stewart The track had a 24 hour race in 1967 6 The speedway brought the first Formula One race to Japan at the end of the 1976 season The race had a dramatic World Championship battle between James Hunt and Niki Lauda and in rainy conditions Hunt earned enough points to win the title Mario Andretti won the race with Lauda withdrawing due to the dangerous conditions In 1977 Gilles Villeneuve was involved in a crash that killed two spectators on the side of the track leading to Formula One leaving the speedway When Japan earned another race on the F1 schedule ten years later it went to Suzuka instead The Grand Prix returned to Fuji in 2007 following its renovation 1980 2000 National racing venue Edit Fuji Speedway former layouts Red 1965 1974 Blue 1975 1985 Green 1986 2004 The abandoned 30 Bank of the old track Fuji remained a popular sports car racing venue the FIA World Sportscar Championship visited the track between 1982 and 1988 and it was often used for national races Speeds continued to be very high and two chicanes were added to the track one after the first hairpin corner the second at the entry to the wide fast final turn 300R Even with these changes the main feature of the track remained its approximately 1 5 km 0 93 mi long straight one of the longest in all of motorsports The long pit straight has also been utilised for drag racing NHRA exhibitions were run in 1989 and in 1993 Shirley Muldowney ran a 5 30 on the quarter mile strip at Fuji Local drag races are common on the circuit at both 440 yd 402 336 m amp 1 000 ft 304 800 m distances The track continued to be used for Japanese national races Plans to host a CART event in 1991 were abandoned due to conflicts with the Federation Internationale du Sport Automobile It was not until the autumn of 2000 that the majority of the stocks of the track were bought by Toyota from Mitsubishi Estate 7 as part of its motor racing plans for the future On May 3 1998 there was a multi car crash during a parade lap before a JGTC race caused by the safety car slowing in torrential rain 8 Ferrari driver Tetsuya Ota suffered serious burns over his entire body after being trapped in his car for almost 90 seconds 9 and Porsche driver Tomohiko Sunako fractured his right leg 9 2001 present renovations Edit In 2003 the circuit was closed down to accommodate a major reprofiling of the track using a new design from Hermann Tilke The track was reopened on April 10 2005 and hosted its first Formula One championship event in 29 years on September 30 2007 In circumstances similar to Fuji s first Grand Prix in 1976 the race was run in heavy rain and mist and the first 19 laps were run under the safety car in a race won by Lewis Hamilton Rebuilt grandstand in the 2000s The circuit has hosted the Nismo Festival for historic Nissan racers since refurbishment in 2003 the event previously took place at Okayama citation needed When the festival returned in 2005 the organisers allowed circuit owner Toyota to bring in their Toyota 7 CanAm racer to re enact an old Japanese GP battle Toyota also hosts its own historic event a week before the NISMO festival called the Toyota Motorsports Festival Close to the circuit is a drifting course which was built as part of the refurbishment under the supervision of Drift King Keiichi Tsuchiya and former works driver and Super GT team manager Masanori Sekiya There is a Toyota Safety Education Center and a mini circuit In addition to motorsports Fuji also hosts the Udo Music Festival The only time the circuit is run on a reverse direction is during the D1 Grand Prix round as Keiichi Tsuchiya felt the new layout meant reduced entry speed making it less suitable for drifting 10 The series has hosted its rounds since 2003 with the exception of the 2004 closure the circuit became the first to take place on an international level racetrack 10 and the first of the three to take place on an F1 circuit The drift course starts from the 300R section and ends past the Coca Cola corner With the reprofiling as cars no longer run downbank entry speeds have since been reduced the hill at the exit making acceleration difficult 10 As part of the 2003 renovations most of the old banked section of track was demolished Only a small section remains to this day Fuji Speedway was announced to host the finish of the road cycling races at the 2020 Summer Olympics and 2020 Summer Paralympics 11 2007 and 2008 Japanese Grands Prix Edit Main articles 2007 Japanese Grand Prix and 2008 Japanese Grand Prix During the 2007 Japanese Grand Prix Fuji Speedway met with a lot of problems including the paralysis of the transportation network provided by the shuttle buses poor facilities including some reserved seats without a view lack of organization and expensive meals such as simple lunch boxes being sold for 10 000 yen US 87 at the circuit 12 13 Newspaper accounts of the event also alleged problems with Toyota bias and control The circuit prohibited spectators from setting up flags and banners to support teams and drivers 14 15 with the exception of the Toyota F1 team 16 Therefore there were very few flags and banners in the event compared with other Grand Prix events 17 18 For the 2008 Japanese Grand Prix race organizers responded to lessons learned the previous year by reducing the total number of spectators allowed at the event Compared to 140 000 persons allowed for Sunday events in 2007 attendance was restricted to 110 000 19 Additionally walkways and spectator facilities were improved along with larger screens 20 However the race was also affected by rainy weather which has historically interfered in a number of past races at the circuit and later in 2013 led to interference with a 6 hour endurance race at the track for the FIA World Endurance Championship Following both poor ticket sales and weather it was decided by FOM that the FIA Japanese Grand Prix would be shared between Fuji and Suzuka on alternate years with Suzuka holding the next race on Sunday October 4 2009 After the global recession and its own operational deficit Toyota decided to discontinue the hosting of Japanese Grand Prix since 2010 21 2020 Summer Olympics Edit During the 2020 Summer Olympics which due to the COVID 19 pandemic were postponed to 2021 the speedway was a venue and finish for the
