As motorcyclists and enjoyers of not-so logical stuff, I think you and I both know that passion makes people do some really dumb shit.
Sports fans wear jerseys with someone else’s last name on the back and argue about it online like it’s their own career on the line. Off-roaders spend a fortune building rigs, then intentionally drive them into places that look like the surface of the moon just to get stuck, scratched, and caked in mud. And now, racing fans are apparently ready to hand over their hard-earned money for a literal chunk of old, tired, dirty asphalt.
But this isn’t just any random piece of road. It’s from Suzuka Circuit. Honda’s home track and one of the most legendary circuits in the history of motorsports. You say the name, and anyone even remotely into racing immediately knows what it means. Suzuka isn’t iconic because it’s glamorous or flashy. It’s iconic because it’s hard, technical, and slightly unhinged in places. The kind of track that separates people who are fast from people who are actually good. But hey, what do I know? I've only ever raced on Suzuka in GranTurismo.
