Love those japanese fans photos. They all get dressed and make all sort of home made goodies for the race. So much fun!

@x303 Agreed – I’m hugely impressed by the amount of work that goes into something like this.

The Japanese fans really do put everyone else to shame. Some races would kill to have that many fans attend on raceday, to see full grandstands on Thursday is just incredible.
