Fuji Speedway is a race track standing in the foothills of Mount Fuji, in Oyama, Sunt District, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. It was built in the early 1960s and hosted the first Formula One race in Japan in 1976. In the 1980s, Fuji Speedway was used for the FIA World Sportscar Championship and national racing. Originally managed by Mitsubishi, Fuji Speedway was acquired by Toyota Motor Corporation in 2000. In 2007, the circuit hosted the Formula One Japanese Grand Prix in 2007, after an absence of 30 years, replacing the Suzuka Circuit. After Fuji Speedway hosted the 2008 race, the Japanese Grand Prix returned to Suzuka for the 2009-2011 races. Fuji Speedway is known for having the longest straight in motorsport tracks, at 1.5 km (0.93 mi) in length.
