Bah drove around Fuji in rFactor a couple of times and its pretty fun but everyone talks about Suzuka like its a legendary place. Maybe I should try it sometime soon.

I can't remember any really boring race at Suzuka, even when it was dry.

Also, this and this.

Quote from aoun :

Does anyone here wish they kept Suzuka? or am i alone on that one?

I very much doubt you're alone on this one. Suzuka is one of my faves alongside (rather predictably..) Spa and Silverstone. Bit of an obsession with the letter 'S' here....

Its one of the best F1 tracks to drive on sims and actually has real over-taking opportunities not to mention 130R .

The F1 season is lessened by its omission imo.

If it rains it will play right into Hamilton's hands. I hope the last few races are going to be intresting ones

Hamilton??? Pfft.... Vettel for the win!!!

Ferrari are finally going back to the lollipop.

Well, they need something to stop sucking. So maybe that isn't a good idea.

but fuji isnt a bad twack either

I agree that Suzuka is a better track than Fuji, but thats because Suzuka is an awesome one rather than Fuji being crap.

I like Fuji quite alot. Not many overtaking opportunities but very interesting none the less

BTW, rain please!!

Fuji is one of my best tracks on F1RFT along with Monza - the fast curves in the first section are great and then the final complex is really nice too with some great off camber up hill sections.

This is one of my favourite tracks without a doubt, I hope it delivers a really good race too.

typical. we've a season full of crap tracks and there's two good ones in the same country, what we need is for a japanese drive to be world champion and then one track can hold the japanese grand prix and the other can hold a pacific grand prix, then we can dump one of the crap tracks

Bridgestone to run 'green' tyre at Fuji:

I remember in 1986 the Benetton team painted their tyre walls bright colours in practice. I think they did that to draw attention to them rather than make then more environmental, afterall, didnt the green dye come from some raw resource somewhere?

If they want to pretend that their tyres are green they should make them run the same set all weekend and only let them have another one when the canvas shows through.

Mind you that'd be a bit like the office stationary manager only giving out new pens if you return the old one out of ink of course, i've had a jobs worth office manager like that before so I just stole the stationary cupboard keys.

Lewis Hamilton tried the canvas option. He failed. Epicly. Epically. Epicerly. Epiccly... Oh, whatever

f^%&ing ugly. Spearmint tyres ffs what next? the picture of the earth on a ca... oh.... lol

Bah, now the Ferraris are gonna look like something out of Christmas.

Now I'm praying it rains so that we can look at some nice black rain tyres.

Lucky we will have slicks next year then.

slicks will just provide a better canvas to paint on lol no doubt they will be painting tree's into them or something really stupid! what are these people on!?!

They have been smoking certain substances while visiting the tree huggers. I can't wait to hear what Martin has to say about those tyres. I can't believe they think painting some grooves green will do anything other than make the cars look stupid.

what do they do with the old tyres in F1 actually? I would love to see a photo of the bin they put them in showing the hypocrisy of the 'green' line!

They'll do it Champ Car style. Except that it will be violet/purple, so public thinks they didn't copy Champ Car which used red marking. Bridgestone was testing colours few weeks back.

Nice quote

I have an old F1 tyre actually, from an early 90's F1 car. It was made into a clock, so they do recycle them! I also have a brake pad from a certain Williams that won a title with some wierd French Canadian singer that sucks at NASCAR. They didn't paint them green though.
