Japanese Grand Prix to alternate between Fuji and Suzuka
Toyota and Honda struck a deal for the Formula One Japanese Grand Prix to alternate between Fuji International Speedway and Suzuka. Toyota purchased Fuji five years ago and massively upgraded the venue to make a pitch for the race, which will be held there this year for the first time since 1977. Honda, which built Suzuka in 1961 as a test facility, lost out. Under the terms of the deal, the race will be held at Suzuka in odd-numbered years, starting in 2009.
