Map of Mine Circuit

Japan's Mine circuit has gone into voluntary liquidation, according to reports in Autosport magazine.

Circuit bosses agreed the move in order to stave off ongoing financial problems. Racing is not expected to be affected, withthe remaining rounds of the Formula Nippon and All-Japan GT series scheduled to go ahead as normal.

The circuit, formerly known as Nishi-Nihon, was expensively reconstructed in the winter of 1990/91 with a completely new layout. It has since also hosted rounds of the All-Japan Touring Car Championship and Formula 3 races.
