Ahead of this year’s Japanese Grand Prix, there has been much work at Suzuka in order to improve the circuit and avoid flooding situations of the past.
In 2010, qualifying was delayed and eventually cancelled as heavy rain lashed the circuit continuously, resulting in rivers which even the Safety Car struggled to cope with when on sighting laps. Eventually, the session took place on Sunday morning.
For this season’s race, the track has been resurfaced from Dunlop Curve (Turn 7, the long left-hander leading to Degner) all the way to the exit of the Casio Triangle chicane at the end of the lap.
In the resurfaced zones, new storm water drainage systems have been installed in order to cope better with the rain.
