Formula One Japanese Grand Prix F1 日本 グランプリ
2016 Formula One Japanese Grand Prix F1 日本 グランプリ is being held in Suzuka Circuit 鈴鹿サーキット during 07-09 Oct 2016. The circuit is 5.807km long, and the F1 GP consists of 53 laps.
This session is for 07 Oct Friday's Free Practice 1 & 2 only.
Formula One cars are just too fast (exceeding 300km/h) so it is not easy to get the camera focus right, especially when you are holding a long lens.

The nearest train station is Suzuka Circuit Inou station 鈴鹿サーキット稲生駅 of Isetetsudou 伊勢鉄道 Ise Line 伊勢線.
