History

TS-Takata Circuit opened in 2002. Since then, renovations involving changes in the course layout have been carried out several times. At the beginning of the opening, it was 1000m around,^[1] but soon the hairpin one corner ahead was moved to the back. In the renovation in 2005 (Heisei 17), a new course with some ups and downs connected from before the old final corner and a final corner with a chicane that continues from there will be set up, and the circumference will be 1500 m. In the 2013 renovation, the chicane in the final corner was abolished. In addition, a new "1800 course" with a total length of 1800m including the extended section to the west was established. In the 2016 road surface improvement, circuit pavement with a high coefficient of friction was laid to reduce swells and seams.^[2] In addition, the "1500 course" that does not use the extended section is used in the free running frame at the moment.^[3]
