The Fuji International Speedway is a top-notch FIA Grade 1 road course located in Shizuoka, Japan. The circuit sits right in the footsteps of Mount Fuji, hence its name, with outstanding views of the snow-capped volcano on sunny days. The facility is a motorsports temple right in the birthplace of Honda, Suzuki, and Yamaha, hosting racing events like the Formula 1 Japanese Grand Prix, the Asian LeMans Series, and many others throughout the year. The temperate climate in the Shizuoka prefecture is ideal for racing anytime, with mild sunny winters and pleasant summers. Heavy rainfall might be a concern, so racing teams should monitor the weather forecast. 

The Fuji International Speedway runs clockwise for 2.82-miles (4.53-km), starting in the middle of its long front straightaway. Velocities as high as 280 km/h (173 mph) are possible for high-performance vehicles, but the heaviest braking sector comes right at corner one, taking speed down to 60 km/h (37 mph). Racers gain back speed at sweeping turn number two and go downhill through Coca-Cola and 100 R. The Hairpin at turn six continues the downhill road that only returns to flat terrain after reaching Dunlop. A highly technical segment of six turns closes the circuit, with the uphill Panasonic corner leading drivers back into the main straight.
