Fuji International Speedway announces outline for holding 2007 Japanese
F1 Grand Prix
FUJI INTERNATIONAL SPEEDWAY CO., LTD. (Fuji Speedway: Hiroaki Kato,
President) announced today arrangements for the holding of the 2007 FIA
Formula One World Championship (F1) Fuji Television Japanese Grand Prix.
Under the basic theme "Endless Beauty, Unlimited Excitement - F1
Japanese Grand Prix at Fuji Speedway", the event will be organized
according to three major policy guidelines: 1) providing services based
on advanced safety and high quality, 2) offering a variety of ways to
enjoy F1, and 3) contributing to and encouraging participation by the
local community.
As a racetrack venue boasting state-of-the-art facilities, Fuji Speedway
is committed to making sure the three-day 2007 FIA Formula One World
Championship (F1) Fuji Television Japanese Grand Prix is operated
as safely as possible; it also intends to create an environment for
spectators of unparalleled comfort and convenience.
In addition, Fuji Speedway plans special attractions to make the
event enjoyable by as many people as possible and aims for close
coordination and cooperation with the host surroundings. Not only out
of consideration for the local environment, but also to help ensure
trouble-free access for spectators, Fuji Speedway will adopt for the
event a "ticket and ride" system that combines an admission ticket
with bus transportation.
The number of visitors is expected to be
approximately 140,000 on the final (third) day of the event, with a
total of 280,000 visitors over the course of the weekend.
It is hoped that holding the event at Fuji Speedway which is located in
a rich natural setting with views of the majestic Mount Fuji, will help
to popularize motor sports among people from a wide range of backgrounds
and will make a contribution to the local community.
