| Photography Area | Features |
|---|---|
| B2-1 and B2-2 Photography Areas | Photograph cars diving into Turn 1 from the main straight. Especially at the start, you can photograph the cars battling fiercely for position as they enter Turn 1. Because the shooting area is some distance from the track, a large telephoto lens is recommended. Depending on your lens’s focal length, it may be difficult to get a close-up shot of the cars. This area is the closest to GP Square, and you can head straight to the stands from the Turn 1 Gate. |
| B2-3 Photography Area | |
| Hairpin Photography Area (Excluding Hairpin Plus Area) |
The Hairpin photography area has been popular since photographer area tickets were introduced. The photography point is relatively close to the track, and the cars slow down for the corner, so you can take photos without worrying even if you don't have a telephoto lens. |
| C Photography Area | A popular photo spot for amateur photographers at domestic races, too. The E Photography Area (Reverse Bank), in particular, offers views of Ise Bay and the city of Suzuka as a backdrop when the weather is clear. The area is also fairly close to the track, so you can get some good shots even without a large telephoto lens. However, F1 cars take the corner at high speed, so panning and keeping them in focus takes practice. The nearby Reverse Bank Oasis is a convenient place to take a break between sessions. Also, the light will be behind you in the afternoon, when qualifying and the race take place, so you can shoot without worrying too much about the sun’s position. |
| D-5 and D-1 Photography Areas | |
| E Photography Area | |
| M Photography Area | You can photograph the cars traveling in the opposite direction from the S Curves and Degner Curve, giving your shots a different feel. Because the track is some distance away, a large telephoto lens is recommended. Although it is far from GP Square, you can reach it easily through Spoon Gate. If coming from GP Square, allow plenty of time in your schedule for the walk. |
| Hairpin Plus Area | The Hairpin Plus area is located in front of the I-1 seating section. Admission requires a Hairpin Plus add-on ticket. (Available only to purchasers of Photographer Area 1–3 tickets.) Only 50 tickets are sold each day on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. This popular area sells out almost every year. |
Availability of Cloakroom
When you try to take serious race photos, you tend to have a lot of camera equipment and other belongings. You can move around the admission area during the session to take photos, but it often becomes inconvenient due to the luggage. Therefore, a cloakroom has been set up at the GP Square. If you want to leave your belongings there and take only the necessary equipment for shooting, you need to purchase both a photographer area ticket and the cloakroom service at the same time.
