    FUJI 1968

    In 1968, Fuji Speedway was a fearsomely fast, clockwise circuit featuring a notorious 30-degree high-speed banked turn 1, which was accessed by a mile-ling straight. It featured a 2.82-mile (4.53-km) layout, notorious for its, often treacherous, and, occasionally, fatal, nature, due to the high-speed, 280 km/h (173 mph) banking, leading into a steep, 60 km/h (37 mph), turn.
    1968 Fuji Track Features & Context:
    • Configuration: The track was typically run clockwise, featuring the high-speed 30-degree banking known for intense, blind, downhill, entry, which, often, proved treacherous, for, drivers, in the late 1960s,.
    • Key Event (1968 Japan GP): The 1968 Japan Grand Prix was notable for increasing its race distance to 480 kilometers (80 laps).

    May I suggest Mexico 67, Monza (Brianza league edition) 67 or Spa (Belgium league edition) 67 as suitable period replacement for this round?
