The old asphalt from Suzuka will be sold as souvenirs.
Recently we wrote that new asphalt would be laid in Suzuka, and today it emerged that part of the old surface has been decided to be sold as souvenirs. It will be cut into blocks and sold to fans bearing the inscription "this asphalt has seen Formula 1 races."
Organizers decided to take the asphalt for the souvenirs from the most memorable spots, in particular the chicane where in 1989 a collision between Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna decided the outcome of the championship.
The organizers' decision has provoked a mixed reaction on social media.
