Talk:Japanese Grand Prix

Japanese Grand Prix before F1

How about giving the pre F1 race a mention as it did have a long history before 1977. Just look at the Japanese page to give you some idea. Willirennen 13.47 5 April 2006 (utc)

1969 Grand Prix

What race did Leo Geoghegan win in 1969 in a Lotus 39? I was led to believe that was the Japanese Grand Prix. --203.201.159.151 15:52, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Post 17 of this thread at AtlasF1's Notalgia Forum indicates that during the period in question, the JAF ran several "Grands Prix" each year, but only some of them got the title "Japanese Grand Prix". DH85868993 09:21, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Japanese Grand Prix and JAF Grand Prix

Until 1969, the "Japanese Grand Prix" was a sports car race event and it was reformed as a formula car race in 1971 after cancelled 1970 event (it was caused by the withdrawals of Nissan and Toyota). The first "JAF Grand Prix" was held by the Japan Automobile Federation (JAF) in 1969 to introduce formula racing event into Japan (formula wasn't so popular in the coutry at that time) to promote real international level competition, though the Japanese Grands Prix (1964-1973) was also held by JAF...[1] The "JAF Grand Prix" was competed by F1, F2, F3 and Formula Livre cars in the first year, and it was won by Leo Geoghegan and his Lotus 39 (F2 car).--Morio (talk) 15:18, 3 April 2009 (UTC) / The 1970 JAF Grand Prix was won by Jackie Stewart and his Brabham F2 car.--Morio (talk) 15:20, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

1994 and 1995 GP was held on the Okayama (Aida) circuit, not at Suzuka 2603:8001:19F0:7A00:D8F2:4C84:AB16:EE2D (talk) 17:35, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

Second 1976 race

The "Year by Year" table lists two races for 1976: The WDC round won by Andretti, and a second race won by Laffite. Does anyone have a source for this latter result? I can find a couple of references [2][3] for Laffite winning the Nihon Grand Prix at Suzuka in a Chevron-BMW, but none for him winning a Japanese Grand Prix at Fuji in a BMW. Any ideas?

Top section re-write

Nice re-write but there is some information that will need correction as there has been of course quite a bit more than 24 Japanese Grands Prix as the race dates back to 1963 so recognition of pre-Formula 1 races would need to be added. --Falcadore (talk) 03:17, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Replacement of Renault F1

There is a complaint about my past replacements of Renault F1 by Renault Sport F1. Renault F1 is no more a engine supplier, it's only a F1 team. The truth is there's a lot of sources citing this change and the relation limited to partnership (as Team Lotus and Red Bull Racing) of the Renault's engine division, today Renault Sport F1. For example:

Media International Page of the Renault Group

http://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/lotus-renault-preview

http://www.renaultsportf1.com/History.html

The discussion is open. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Urbanoc (talk • contribs) 23:53, 9 October 2011 (UTC) --Urbanoc (talk) 23:56, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

No such complaint exists in Japanese Grand Prix article history, this discussion should be deleted or moved to article location where actual complaint exists. --Falcadore (talk) 00:22, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

1989 race

If Senna won the race the championship would be decided in Australia as Prost was now having to drop points. Younger2007 (talk) 08:06, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
