Crash.net seem to think that Fuji will get the Japanese GP from 2007 onwards (as do Wikipedia). This seems to be another classic circuit dissapearing from the calendar - Spa has gone, Hockenheim was butchered and now Suzuka (demanding, technical fantastic track) could be replaced by Fuji Speedway - a track which has had a Herman Tilke redesign. Both are in Gran Turismo, and I know which one I prefer :-). Fuji just seems to be 2 miles of tarmac runoff and no character, so pretty normal for Tilke. The way this is going, F1 will require a boring Tilke circuit for every race. At least Monaco might escape - but thats been made “safer” already anyway.
