In the end, I won with a 25k6d. I might never do this again, haha

As I mentioned in a recent post, the oval track at Twin Ring Motegi has been completely dismantled, and grass will be planted in part of the area (Turns 3–4).
Construction appears to have begun this week, starting with the removal of the catch fences.

As you likely know, Twin Ring Motegi (now known as Mobility Resort Motegi), where the Indy Japan race was once held, has not been used as a racetrack since the 2011 earthquake caused the ground to shift, resulting in significant unevenness on the course.That year’s Indy Japan race was held on the adjacent road course.

The last time an IndyCar ran there was likely during a demo run that winter, following Sato’s victory at the Indy 500 in 2017.

According to a post by Ryo Michigami, a legend of the Japanese GT scene, the oval track is being transformed into an area covered in grass where visitors can camp while watching races on the road course; as a result, today’s demo run by the JGTC cars was reportedly the last opportunity to see cars driving on the oval.

Actually, this news had already been revealed when MotoGP tickets went on sale. It was simply reiterated by officials, making it common knowledge.

Here’s a personal website that compiles various NPB stats and metrics.
It’s mostly in Japanese, but I think the UI is designed to be visually intuitive enough for English-speaking users to understand.
I hope this is helpful to those following this subreddit.
