This is why Suzuka is cool:

For circle track domestic dudes, it's like having your car built right around Daytona.
For european cars, it's like having your car built right around Le Manns.

It's like being connected to hardcore motorsports - for fun anyway. Hopefully the 'spirit' of motorsports gets infused into the metal.
Suzuka rocks....especially when you can drive the course in Gran Turismo.
