My Suzuka Trip 2015

[CBartholomew4677]

Hello All,
A few years back I decided I was going to go to all the Formula 1 races I'd dreamed about through the years, and this year was the 2015 Japanese GP at Suzuka. I am now back home and somewhat returned to normal after my trip, and I wanted to share some pics of the weekend with you all.

Starting with the Pit Walk and Course Walk on Thursday morning. Well worth getting up to catch an early train to the circuit.
I love that first view of the circuit!! Very exciting!!

Japanese F1 fans are AWESOME!!!!

Teams were out in force for the fans.

Nice pics Chris. Looks like good access, pit lane and track!!! I would love to visit Japan someday, the country as much as the race citcuit. Looks a very intriguing country. Which other circuits have you visited?

One more thing, which made me chuckle a little bit; the Suzuka Circuit train "Station", better termed as a train stop.
Much like the Monza Cicrcuit train stop, it is a tiny little bump on the train line.

All props to the Japanese organizers, they had extra trains running, and everything was organized and in order, much like everything else in Japan .

Cheers,
Chris
