    Salut ,

    Hello,
    I just wanted to correct Kansai is the name of the city where this circuit is located but its exact name is: Suzuca. :)

    Kansai is a prefecture in Japan.there are licencing rights for the Suzuka track like any others in the world and that name Kansai was a way to bypass it as far as i am concerned.

    Suzuka* ;)

    The track is not licenced, meaning the original name and such cannot be used. That's why it's called something else. It's the same thing with Azure in AMS2, which is in no way Monaco, or with several of the "generic" Formula cars. Keeps licencing costs low.

    It's better than what Pcars2 did to get around suzuka licensing...
