Uniquely Honda’s showpiece facility takes riders through a pair of underpasses as they run out into the country, and back into the confines of the banked oval circuit. A stop-and-go track with short straights linking slow corners, emphasising braking and acceleration.

Dunlop’s view:

Motegi is renowned for heavy braking, so front tyres are very important. We don’t plan a special construction. We’ll work more on getting the compound right, and those who can use the hard rubber best will benefit.
