"What is your recommended viewing style?"

In addition to the race, there are various ways to enjoy events and attractions. We will introduce the recommended viewing plans from those who watched the FORMULA 1 JAPANESE GRAND PRIX at Suzuka Circuit, as well as the highlights of viewing and how to gather information during the race.

What are the recommended viewing plans (schedule)?
Sako san
In our case, we take weekends off.
We leave by car late Friday night, arrive at the parking lot around dawn on Saturday, and wait in line at the gate for it to open.
After the gate opening, there will be a souvenir contest, a chance to take commemorative photos with the drivers' boards, and then we will check our seats and leisurely watch the qualifying.
After watching the stage event I was looking forward to, I will return to my accommodation for the night and take my time getting to the venue on Sunday.
While walking the West Course, take your seat before the driver parade, enjoy a drink while waiting for the race to start, and applaud the drivers after it ends.
If you move to the course walk entrance just before the end, you can enter the course without waiting in line too much.
We will pack up before the roads get congested.
marco san
Due to accommodation in Nagoya, the stay on-site will be limited, but there are many free seating areas on Friday, so it's enjoyable to move around and watch the free practice from around Turn 2 to the S-curve.
TYPER2001 Mr.
Planned a long vacation for the year since a year ago. Secured holidays from Wednesday to Sunday.
Wednesday is a travel day to explore the Suzuka area, including Ise and other attractions.
Thursday is for the Pit Walk and shopping. If you don't finish your shopping on Thursday, the stores will get crowded and it will be difficult.
On Friday, seating is free, so I will watch from a seat other than my own. I will enjoy the free practice sessions.
Of course, I will enjoy F1 on Saturday and Sunday. During the times when the machines are not running on the course, I enjoyed the talk events.
F1 is life san
If you can clear your schedule, the only option is full participation from Thursday to Sunday! If you can't take much time off, a straightforward choice would be Saturday and Sunday, or if you mainly want to see the drivers, then Thursday and Sunday. If you want to see and take pictures of the machines, then a schedule of Friday and Sunday could also work.
Since the F1 schedule is relaxed in the morning, it's recommended to enjoy a leisurely and elegant time by watching the driver talk show or having drinks with friends and fellow racing enthusiasts!
Shio Gohan san
My recommended viewing plan is to visit the Racing Zone, booths, and the Honda Racing Gallery. However, I do not recommend the attractions as they tend to have long lines...
Dodonpa san
The finals will be extremely crowded no matter where you go, so I'll take care of the merchandise souvenirs on Friday and Saturday.
Tomomi san
On Friday's free practice, I will explore various places to watch on Saturday and Sunday.
Take your time in your seat on Saturday and Sunday.
Basically, I am watching alone, so I am exploring various parts of the West Course without any specific designation.

S.T. Mr.
Conserving physical strength is the most important.
It's not good to arrive at the venue too late and feel sleepy during the race. On Sunday morning, I want to leave slowly, and if I have a car, I want to rest in the car so that I'm fully energized during the race.
Shin-chan san
Mainly attractions. I also watch talk shows featuring my favorite players and shop for merchandise from my favorite teams.
Metal Slime san
If you love racing, you should definitely watch the support races.
◈ It's also good to look at the event schedule and think about what you want to see and what you want to do.
7: What is the essence of the FORMULA 1 JAPANESE GRAND PRIX?
Algernon Nix san
Occasionally, team staff can be seen walking around GP Square. If you muster the courage to talk to them, they might give you exclusive postcards or merchandise.
marco san
The circuit has more elevation changes than what you see on TV. Please check it out with your own eyes as you walk around the stands and experience it during the course walk!
Sako san
The sense of unity in the stands brought out by the local MC and the admiration for the drivers is wonderful.
The race dynamics can be difficult to grasp without the aid of monitors or apps, but especially when Japanese drivers perform well, the excitement builds like a rumble.
GiGis60s (Grandpa s60s) san
It's fun to gather once a year with F1 friends from all over the country whom I met on social media.
By chance, I made F1 friends who I can reunite with every year in the parking lot.
KAPPA64 san
Watch the enthusiastic cosplay group
Talk with those wearing homemade support goods
Long-time Lewis fan san
It's the opportunity to meet core F1 friends every year.
Once a year, fans gather from all over the country to the holy land of Suzuka to watch their beloved F1.
While listening to the high-pitched sound of the engine, we passionately discuss various topics with each other.
Is there anything better than this?

Myuu san
The essence of it all, when you think of the Japanese GP, is definitely the SUZUKA CIRCUIT.
I can't imagine holding events at other circuits.
There is significance in holding it at Suzuka.
Shin-chan san
After all, that F1 sound, the smell of burning brakes, and the breathtaking speed are irresistible.
Sonic Tracker san
After all, it's the pinnacle of motorsports in the world!!
The dimensions are different, and the intensity is incredible!! I think the sight of machines racing around the world on the 5.807km of SUZUKA CIRCUIT is immensely captivating.
Toritaro Saitani san
The thrill is in cheering for your favorite driver together!
The sense of unity in the cheering section. It's the best. Takuma Sato in 2002, yellow flower field.
2010 Kobayashi Kamui. The highest excitement.
The performance of the drivers and the energy of the cheering section are proportional.

Shio Gohan san
The charm of the F1 Japan GP, in my opinion, is the ability to get excited with the fans. This year, I couldn't interact with the fans, so next year I want to do an Oyu Kitsu No Dako Call. And I want to be seen on international broadcasts and on cameras from Fuji TV NEXT and DAZN, haha.
Masaaki san
After all, it's the intensity and excitement that can only be experienced on-site.
Additionally, the hospitality mindset of those involved with the circuit is wonderful.

Dodonpa san
The world's No. 1 is right in front of you.
8: How do you gather information during the race?
Sherlock san
I chose seats that provide a good view of the Circuit Vision to better understand the situation during the race. I will also check the Fangroup forum, which provides race updates from various viewing areas, using my smartphone.
Kenichiro Hara san
This is the circuit vision. This is from last year's F1 viewing, taken from the temporary seats in section D of the reverse bank.

Metal Slime san
Wi-Fi and mobile signals are difficult to connect, so the basic option is FM radio.
marco san
We refer to BBC and the Italian OutSprint site for in-house commentary, visuals, and news.
Kuro san
FM radio is the best for gathering information.
It is recommended to use open-ear headphones that do not leak the venue audio or the sounds of the circuit.
Be careful as the connection may become unstable and may not connect on smartphones or tablets.
Sako san
Since the live commentary is not very audible, I am watching the circuit vision through a scope, listening to the local radio, and checking updates on my smartphone.
As long as you don't lose sight of your favorite color, you can enjoy it fully.
KAPPA64 san
Radio and Circuit Vision
Shin-chan san
This is a smartphone, radio, and Circuit Plaza vision.
Shimiki san
Having a radio and headphones makes a huge difference in the amount of information you receive during the race and otherwise.
By the way, the radio on smartphone apps has a delay and is not useful.
Toritaro Saitani san
The best way to enjoy is through the circuit vision and broadcasts.
Mobile phone reception worsens when there are many people, so it's not very comfortable.
Shio Gohan san
During the race, I gather information from the circuit vision. I don't use my smartphone during the race because the internet connection is not available. Since I can't grasp the entire race situation on-site, I ask my father for details in the car on the way back, and then I rewatch the race on DAZN the next day.
Dodonpa san
FM Radio
Masaaki san
If you have a reserved seat, you can get plenty of information from the circuit vision screen, but for those with area tickets, having the official app might be convenient.
