2011 Suzuka F1 pictures

Thanks to Adam for sharing these pictures.  The Japanese cultural elements make this event a truly unique experience. 

Apparently, if you sit where Adam sat, where the track intersects, you definitely need earplugs.  Not only do you have to deal with cars coming from two different directions, but the reverberation from the concrete walls is ear-splitting.

 Kamui fans.

I can't tell if those are the names of the tsunami victims.

 Over 100,000 fans were on hand.

 Infamous Bernie puppet.
