It is the name of the fastest corner on this track, and one of the fastest in F1

130R is a long turn at the Suzuka circuit. Many bad accidents have occurred there.

Thanks, I knew it was a turn, but wasn't sure which it was.

Hah, I agree. Although it does sound technical.

The name comes from the length of the turn - 130 meters.

Is it the long sweeping turn to the right? Wait, is that what the R stands for? Cause that would be extra boring.
