2011 Formula 1 Japanese Grand Prix

E90SLAM · 10-03-2011, 09:57 AM

Suzuka, I can say its "home" of RB6 and RB7, heaven of the bulls.
Vettel is just one point away to be the youngest Double World Champion, this is where it will happen!

Don't forget to login to your GT5 account, if Vettel wins the 2011 World Champion in Suzuka. Polyphony will give out a free X2010 to ALL GT5 players one week after the race concluded.

Anyone want to guess where will the DRS zone will be?
My best "educated guess" will be the start/finish straight.
I wish its the straight leads to the casino triangle chicane, but FIA will definitely ban it because there's 130R sitting in between.

This was five days after the Singapore GP where all the teams shipped their chassis and equipment to Japan, Nagoya Chubu Centrair Airport.

Echo M3 · 10-03-2011, 04:02 PM

I agree, probably Start/Finish straight.

Just like to add that I LOVE this track! One of the few modern-era circuits that is a true driver's track. Not to mention all the incredible moments here...from the Senna/Prost battles to the Schumacher/Hakkinen fights to Alonso and Raikkonen battling it out in '05; this place is steeped in history.

Awesome track with great figure of 8, flowing curves and challenging Degner 1 and 2 (always caught me off guard), and "flat out if you dare" 130R.

Not much foreign (anywhere but Europe) tracks has such deep history, the only one beside this is Interlagos.

gary88 · 10-03-2011, 04:17 PM

Lets hope we don't have a start like last year.

But with HRT on the grid you never know

BrokenVert · 10-03-2011, 04:19 PM

YEAH. Japan!

UltimateBMW · 10-03-2011, 04:48 PM

Can't wait til Friday. Love the layout of Suzuka.

EINSER M · 10-04-2011, 02:07 AM

VETTEL FTW and thank you polyphony for the x2010 if that happens.

OOOSQ · 10-04-2011, 03:29 AM

One of the greatest race tracks in the world. Can't wait.

I can barely get into Q2 with Force India in F1 2011 here

yermo · 10-04-2011, 11:17 AM

love this track! One of the best tracks out there, great flowing and fast track!! Even though i am not a Red Bull fan they looked so good at this track last year and just made this track look so special.

ADV.1 Matt · 10-04-2011, 01:32 PM

This is a going to be an epic GP! Can't wait! Thanks for the pictures as always!

EINSER M · 10-04-2011, 02:25 PM

wow 1:31 set by kimi in 2005 the closest i got was 1:45 in GT5 with the formula GT car

E90SLAM · 10-05-2011, 10:08 AM

Raining in Suzuka again!!!

ptack · 10-05-2011, 10:41 AM

We need a rainy race to add some intrigue and pure chance to what otherwise is almost a foregone conclusion.

E90SLAM · 10-05-2011, 11:26 AM

I don't mind Vettel gets the Champion here, because its nice to have an extra X2010 in my GT5 garage...

yup, he'll most likely get pole on sat and then cruise to a win, pretty much like all season, w/ a few exceptions
