I love Japanese tracks in general, Sugo is wonderful with superb racing as is Tsukuba.. Twin Ring Motegi and Suzuka are two of the best tracks I've ever driven..then there's Fuji. I love the first two thirds of the circuit, beautiful flow and design.. but the final sector, for me, is just a fussy mess.. like an afterthought designed while suffering a terrible hangover or illness. To add insult to injury I will never forget frantic fuel management there during a crucial league race.. I ran out about a third of the way down the home straight on the final lap (in first place with a 10 second lead I may add).. I trundled desperately toward the finish line.. rocking backwards and forwards in my sim seat like some demented, caged animal. I finished last, 15 seconds adrift, doing 2mph.. it was a hellish eternity.. why does that bloody straight have to be so bloody long?!?

I will never forgive Fuji for that (my mistake or not), awful place.. :LOL:

I share your pain, my friend. Fuji's not one of my favoured circuits. I struggle finding a good line around that final twisty sector. And i've also felt the sting of a league race at Fuji that could've had a better result.
Now in all fairness, my result wasn't that bad. I finished 4th, in the wet, (it was dry when we started) after starting near the back of the grid and getting hit and spun by someone in turn 1. But i feel it was that spin which cost me a podium, as it dropped me to dead last. But being in a naturally aspirated Porsche GT3 at that altitude, i passed a lot of the turbo cars on the main straight like they were standing still. Hell, i even gained 2 positions during a pit stop. I'd changed my pit strategy to just do tyres and not worry about any damage repairs, since we had damage off. So when i followed 2 other cars into pit lane for tyres, i finished my stop and drove off while they sat there waiting out an engine repair or something to that effect.
 
Tsukuba reminds me of, or rather, two tracks local to myself remind me of Tsukuba, one in particular. Can't get my bike out of second gear on either one of them and I can't imagine doing door-to-door racing in cars on them. They're barely big and wide enough for hotlapping. No thank you.

I'm not really stuck on the locale of any track and can't quite understand people who get hung up on this country or that. Doesn't matter which piece of ground it occupies on which landmass, either it's a good track, or it is not.
 
From today's radio PMR on X I spotted this figure, someone in the comments said it's an '67 Chevrolet Camaro, could it be

The nose seems a bit rounded for a muscle car and the grille doesn't appear to come up high enough for a GTR, but it doesn't quite look like the MX5 that was revealed earlier either hmmm

The biggest revelation from PMR #4 has to be that Scotland international goalkeeper Craig Gordon appears to be one of the testers in FDP!

I suppose if the back end unexpectedly steps out.. he's likely to save it.. :LOL:

Makes me wonder.. If another driver makes unavoidable contact with his car, will he pull over to the side of the track, fall out of the car, and roll around on the grass holding his knee? While a flag marshal runs over blowing a whistle and holds out a yellow flag to the driver who contacted him.
