Ah, thx! BTW, the article said '27R' is the name of the bend which corresponds to part of the logo, would that be the '01' location on that map?

Yeah, 27R is the first corner.

Aside from the meaning blue might have in Japan, blue worldwide is liked by people. It seems to be a universal color that is positive and liked in many cultures.

And yes, the F logo is very clever as it is in-fact shaped like the Fuji Speedway, as well as being very similar in shape to Toyota's F1 logo. This gives us enthusiasts some great info all from that one F logo. Firstly is the fact that the Fuji speedway is the *main* race track for the R & D of the F-cars, and secondly that the Lexus-F program is directly linked to Toyota's F1 program.

I love how Toyota's logos have so much meaning .
