History :
Originally built in the style of an American speedway in 1966, Fuji is best remembered for hosting the very first Japanese Grand Prix in 1976. The inaugural race was the setting for one of Formula One racing's closest title showdowns, between James Hunt and Niki Lauda.

Though the event proved popular, the 1977 race would be the circuit's last appearance on the Formula One world championship calendar for 30 years.

In 2000, Toyota bought a 93 percent stake in the track and three years later Fuji was closed for renovation, before reopening in February 2005.

Two years later and Fuji was again making its presence known in F1 when the circuit hosted the 2007 Japanese GP.
