The Japanese Grand Prix 's traditional place at the end of the season means this event has seen a great number of Championship crowns being won and lost. As a result of this, and due to the exciting and challenging layout of Suzuka Circuit, the Japanese Grand Prix is one of the most-loved races in the Formula One season. In the twenty Japanese Grands Prix (1976-1977; 1987-2004), eleven have seen the title destiny decided (1976, 1987-1991, 1996, 1998-2000, and 2003), with 5 of those events (1976, 1996, 1998-1999 and 2003) being last race Championship deciders. In 2004 the Brazilian Grand Prix replaced the Japanese Grand Prix as the last race of the season.
It was announced on March 24, 2006 by the FIA that that future races will again be held at the redesigned Fuji Speedway in the Shizuoka Prefecture. This has been met with mixed response, as both being a classic motorsporting track like Suzuka, it is unlikely to be as like with drivers, especially as it has been redesigned by famous (or in some opinions, infamous) track designer Hermann Tilke, whose tracks have all been met with very mixed responses. -- source www.wikipedia.org
