The Tsukuba Circuit is a famous race track located in Tsukuba, Japan. It is 2070 m long, has 32 pits and the longest straight is 437 m long.[1] The track was established in 1966 with the aim of attracting young people to participate in motor sports but wasn't actually built until 1970.[2] These days an event is held every week.[3] The track has a large variation in corners ranging from wide sweepers to hairpins, testing drivers and their vehicles.[2] There is room for 8500 spectators at the track, 3000 in the stands, 5000 on lawn seats and a further 500 standing over the pits.[2] There is a small chicane corner that is only used for motorcycle racing only.
