    I would rather have this been run on the oval, only because it would mean that the disaster hasn't happened over there.

    But my personal preference is always to road courses, so I like this call.

    Agree with Uc52, the reason behind it sucks, but it does look like an interesting course if the straights are long enough. I did like the Motegi egg oval though, and this coming from a road course fan.
    There is no substitute...

    I've always wanted to see indycars run the RC @ Motegi. I guess I may finally get to see them do it. Hopefully the Japanese fans will have recovered enough to enjoy the race.
    HINCHTOWN!!

    Glad to see ICS going to Japan. The fans there can use the event as a respite from the ordeals they have endured. The Japanese fans are some of the most respectful and educated about the sport.

    Fast forward to about the 2:50 mark. It's the Dome-Mugen F105 Grand Prix car (from the stillborn Dome F1 team) doing a lap of the Motegi road course.
