[edit] first ever separate-but-combined road-and-oval track

The article states that this was the "first ever separate-but-combined road-and-oval track." Can someone explain why Monza doesn't qualify? Is it because at Monza the layout was such that a race could use both the oval and the road course during the same race (as occurred several times in the 1950s), whereas at Motegi it sounds like it would be logistically impossible to do this? 1995hoo 15:17, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

I question it too. Since it was unsourced, I have removed it. Royalbroil 15:28, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Does someone have a Google Earth-compatible overlay for this track?

GE's resolution of the area is lousy and nothing turned up on the GE forums (except placemarks). Will (Talk - contribs) 04:30, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

BTW: I completed a SVG version of the track layout. I don't know why it doesn't display on the image description page. I also don't know why it is clipped. Does someone have answers?
