What is the worlds obsession with these super short tracks now?

It's bench mark test track for the japanese tuners/hot rodders.
Kind like we in europe have a obsession for the spa or the nordschleife.

This track has no long straights, no high-speed corners, no elevation change. Only 1 medium speed corner(Last one before straight). All the rest are low speed corners. Suzuka is a much better track for benchmark.

Tsukuba track is a very technial track.
That is why it's the bench track for the tuners.

^Are you seriously saying that Suzuka is not as technical as Tsukuba?

No i just say that tsukuba circuit is a technical track

I almost feel Suzuka is so much of a better benchmark though, as it combines the same techincal low speed stuff as Tsukuba - but also includes some very very fast secitons and then adds in crazy braking requirements to honestly evaluate the cars.

Agree whit you rc45
But their also tuners in japan that test at suzuka circuit and some other tracks in japan.

Thing is: Tsukuba is a rather small track, easy to see a lot for the spectators and is hugely popular. It's also the track where the whole Time Attack Super Lap thing started, so...
Plus, if you want to go really fast around the track, you need a very powerful car to rocket away from the hairpins, yet it has to be 'agile' as well, because Tsukuba has the size of an outgrown kart-track...
The choice for Tsukuba is more straightforward than you might think and anyway, there is a Super Lap tournament where they do all the major tracks in Japan, like Fuji, Autopolis, Odaiba... The Tsukuba thing is only as big asit is because of the massive coverage by Rev Speed, Hot Version/Best Motoring or Video Option (ao).
Bit of a messy reply but I hope you get my point

Your spot on.
