I was there in 2006, a very memorable weekend indeed. I have some photos kicking about somewhere I can try and dig out and add to the thread.

There's more to come on Suzuka '06 + Fuji '07.  That is, if Doug has the patience to post them all (until I can learn to post photos on this forum for myself)!    Eternally grateful to Doug Nye and Tim Murray for all help thus far.

A lot more people there than at the last three 2021 Grands Prix combined . Can we swap a couple of Gulf 'State' 'circuits ' for some more in Japan please?
