I took my daughter, who had just recovered from an illness, to Suzuka Circuit as promised. We came for the amusement park, but we were lucky enough to catch Super Formula too!

My daughter was startled by the noise, but she watched the race intently. Even though I've lived nearby for decades, it was my first time watching a race in person, too.

We went to SUZUKA CIRCUIT to watch Super Formula. Seeing the cars up close was incredible—you could feel the power of the racing throughout your body.

We could watch the parts of the track we couldn't see on the monitors, and the commentary explained the strategies around the safety car and the rain. Even though my son and I were both new to racing, we had a great time.

Apparently, we both love watching races. The sounds and smells of SUZUKA CIRCUIT were simply irresistible.

I went to Suzuka Circuit for Rounds 4 and 5 of Super Formula. I was happy to see so many more young people in their teens and 20s, as well as families with young children. There was also a great selection of merchandise for fans' favorite drivers, and lots of people were enjoying supporting them at the circuit.

My favorite drivers are Ayumu Iwasa and Kakunoshin Ohta. Round 4 was full of surprises, with rain partway through the race and a safety car. Here's hoping for a better result tomorrow!

I watched Super Formula at Suzuka this weekend. It was my first time seeing motorsports in person.

Saturday brought changing weather and pit and tire strategies, while Sunday featured OTS tactics and a battle that went down to the final corner. Both races had everything that makes racing exciting, and I couldn't have been happier.

At Suzuka on Sunday, I realized that the best battles depend not only on the drivers' skill, but also on their mutual respect. I was so happy to witness that moment firsthand.

The final round falls on a three-day weekend in November. I asked my family, "How about watching the race and enjoying the amusement park?" They were excited about the idea, so we decided to make an overnight trip of it.

This will be my third visit to SUZUKA CIRCUIT this year.
