Fuji to host Japan GP from 2007

NEWS STORY
13/03/2006

It has been revealed that Fuji Speedway will replace Suzuka as host of the Japan Grand Prix from 2007.

According to The Yomiuri Shimbun, Bernie Ecclestone has signed a "multi-year" deal with the Toyota owned circuit, which hosted the Japan event in 1976 and 1977. Suzuka, which has hosted the Japan Grand Prix since 1987, is owned by Honda.

Fuji re-opened in 2005 following an extensive overhaul, and Toyota made no secret of its desire to win the rights to host its home Grand Prix.

Bernie Ecclestone has said that with three teams currently competing in F1, it is not impossible that Japan could play host to two rounds of the World Championship, however, this would appear to buck the current trend, where both Italy and Germany look set to lose one of two races.
