After watching the Fuji World Endurance Championship yesterday it reminded me of what a great track it was for F1.

The 2007 race was unbelievable in the rain.

Anyone else miss this track from the F1 calendar?

Clip of Kubica and Massa going at it. Sorry about the quality but hard to find.

I preferred the older layout, one of my favourites from the old Best Motoring videos and Gran Turismo. Just another track ruined by Tilke for F1, then discarded after only a couple of races.

I love this track in it's old configuration, also Istanbul although a Tilke circuit it was a good circuit.

Yes that is even better frown

So sad how the great circuits have been destroyed.

I cant say it does anything for me in its current form and for F1 to go there, it would mean losing Suzuka which is just madness!
