Apart from Suzuka in Japan, it was also the only other Asian venue for the Formula One World Championship races. Today, there are four other circuits in Asia.

Peaceful polls
AT the time of this writing, incumbent Nobel Prize-winning President Jose Ramos-Horta was trailing in third place in the presidential polls in Timor Leste. The front runner was leader of the main opposition Fretilin Party, Francisco "Lu-Olo" Guterres, who also won the first round of the 2007 presidential election. Coming in second place was former army chief Taur Matan Ruak, who is backed by the National Congress for the Reconstruction of East Timor, the party of Prime Minister Xanana Gusmao. In fourth place was speaker of parliament Fernando Lasama de Araujo, who came in third in the first round in 2007 and endorsed Ramos-Horta in the second round. In other words, the early results show that the race for the presidency of Timor Leste is running true to form.
